Since its inception in 1801, Crane & Co has been green. The company’s commitment to the environment is clearly stated in its philosophy, “We don’t cut down trees to make Crane papers.” This revolutionary, family-owned business, now in its seventh generation is 100% tree free, it’s energy efficient, it reduces waste, it spares the environment and it is renewable and recyclable.  For over 200 years, it has been an industry leader by making a conscious efforts to minimize their environmental footprint.

Crane & Co. features unique wedding invitations by Kate Spade and recently partnered with Martha Stewart to create an elegant line of invitation suites – click on the look book to view. For the purposes of the Crane Chandelier Project, I like their appropriately named, Birds of a Feather collection.
