Hi Friend, I am so happy you have our wholesale catalog in front of you! I can’t wait to share a little bit about my story and how The Noble Paperie came to be. As a whole, this small business is about making people feel good—because we ALL deserve admiration and praise. We believe in celebrating every season of life: the joyous moments, and the seasons we struggle through, because both of those shape us into the individuals we are meant to be... and that is worth celebrating. The Noble Paperie was born after my husband and I tried to start a family. I experienced a miscarriage in our first pregnancy, and the pregnancy that followed was extremely difficult. I spent 40+ days in a hospital on bedrest, endured a traumatic emergency C-section delivery of my son 2 months early, and we then spent an additional 34 days with him in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before we were able to officially come home as a family of three. Immediately, my priorities changed and I quickly realized the journey to motherhood doesn’t come easy to everyone. In May of 2019, we welcomed our second son to our family. Where that pregnancy was nowhere near as complicated as the previous two, I still had my fair share of issues, including more hospitalization and bedrest. These transformational experiences growing our family gave me a newfound passion for supporting other mothers during their own journey to baby. The Noble Paperie was born from this passion — our first six cards were designed specifically with the Miscarried Mother in mind, but have since evolved to include a wide range of products supporting ALL types of mothers: loss moms, adoptive moms, and mamas in waiting. I hope each of our products reflects our mission and values: to inspire and support those struggling through miscarriage, loss, infertility, pregnancyrelated issues, and other difficulties on the road to, and through, motherhood. My heart is filled with gratitude for you: our retailers. My hope is that this line continues to spread joy to women+ during their journey to motherhood, and lets them know that if we stand together — we are not alone. I give you the sincerest thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing The Noble Paperie to be part of your lives. Sending you joy, love, and baby dust,
Katelyn Woolley Founder + Creative Director The Noble Paperie

Mother’s Day Noble Greeting
It’s been incredible to see our Noble Greetings evolve from just supporting Miscarried Mothers, to now being inclusive of so many different motherhood journeys. We are especially proud of our cards to support Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) mothers, as ours are some of the only cards offering these sentiments on the market.
NGC031 “Dads Grieve Too”
Kate spent 34 days in the NICU with her son, so is acutely aware of the difficulties and struggles that come with raising a premature baby. During their time at the hospital, Kate and her family were supported emotionally and financially by Miracle Babies — a nonprofit that works to support families with babies in the NICU. After these experiences, Kate wanted to reciprocate the generosity from this incredible charity, so a portion of The Noble Paperie’s total sales are donated back to Miracle Babies each year.

We have been blown away at the immediate popularity of our Noble Pinback Buttons. We did a soft-launch of our first five designs to gauge whether or not they would be a good fit for The Noble Paperie, and the response was overwhelming. Our most popular pinback button was the ‘Rainbow Mama + Rainbow Babe’ set, and truly have had difficulty keeping those in stock! We have since expanded our designs to be more inclusive of the many different types of rainbow families, adoptive families, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) families. We design each button in our home studio, and then work with a local-mama-maker in San Diego, who prints and assembles each button for us, by hand. From there, each button is inspected and assembled back at our studio, complete with a cardstock button-backer!

We are so excited to finally offer die-cut stickers with our mix of products! These have been in the works for awhile, and they feel like such a major accomplishment after having to design them during the creativity-suck that is a pandemic. It has been difficult to feel motivated and productive, and after months of designing, it also feels great to have the finished pieces here and available with the rest of our line. Like all of our pieces, the hope is that these stickers bring joy to all the mamas out there—the ones waiting on their babies, the ones missing their babies, the ones expecting their rainbows, and the ones waiting on their babes to make it home from the NICU. Each of these mothers are on an important part of their journey, and each one of them deserves to be celebrated!

Frequently WHERE HAVE I SEEN YOU? TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE NOBLE PAPERIE AND YOUR STORY. Our Etsy shop opened in 2016 with our first 6 Noble Greetings. Since then, we have expanded our line to include over 40 different products! The Noble Paperie has also had our products and story featured in several magazines and websites, including: Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Pregnancy + Newborn, SD Voyagers, and Stationery Trends. Kate, our Founder + Creative Director, was also selected as part of Stationery Trend’s 2018 class of Top 40 Under 40. Please visit our “Press+Praise” page on our website, for links to our most-recent features. We are so grateful for the opportunity to do what we love, while helping to support such an inspiring community. WHY A LINE BASED AROUND MISCARRIAGE AND LOSS? The statistics are staggering: in the US, 1 in every 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage 1, and infertility currently effects 1 in 8 couples and is increasing.2 Additionally, there are over 500,000 children born prematurely in the United States each year, and that number continues to rise.3 Chances are, your customers are already experiencing these issues themselves, or know someone who is. We wanted to create a line that spreads joy to the individuals who are living these statistics in their daily lives. CAN YOU RUSH SHIP? Standard shipping is Priority Mail via USPS (3-4 business days). If you would like us to upgrade your shipping speed to Express shipping through USPS, UPS or FedEx (1-2 business days), please be sure to let us know when placing your order. Additional rush fees will apply. MAY WE USE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY? Retailers and advocacy accounts may be granted access to our library of high resolution images so they can promote The Noble Paperie in their shops. Please note that all photography provided may only be used to market The Noble Paperie products. “Created by The Noble Paperie” must also be included in the product description, and we ask that you tag @TheNoblePaperie when using our images on social media. If you would like access to our image library, please let us know when placing an order and we will provide a link for access. ARE YOU MAKING AN EFFORT TO BE SUSTAINABLE? All of our Noble Greetings are mindfully printed on Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified stocks with environmentally friendly, non-toxic, soy-based inks. All of our envelopes are 100% recycled kraft paper. Starting with all 2021 launches, we will also be using 100% recyleable sleeves. We print and produce all of our products in the USA using local vendors whenever possible.
ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW ARE YOUR PRODUCTS PACKAGED? ARE YOU ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE AN ORDER WITHOUT PLASTIC? All of our Noble Greetings include a greeting card, a corresponding 100% recycled kraft envelope, and are prepackaged in a plastic sleeve. Each card is then sealed with a Noble Paperie sticker. Our pinback buttons are adhered to a branded cardstock backer and come with no additional packaging.

Di versity Inclusion AND
The Noble Paperie is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion as core values in our work and with our clients. We recognize all types of diversity including: ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion and abilities. We believe that working with our differences is what enhances our work, our experiences, and our life. We want our clients and customers to share that belief. Our differences are a part of our beautiful story, and make up who we are. We honor the strength, creativity and power that comes from experiencing different viewpoints, backgrounds and cultures.
The above diversity statement lives on our website. It also lives on every client contract and wholesale order, so that our customers and clients are aware of where The Noble Paperie stands, so that you can stand with us. It is a core value of The Noble Paperie to also give back. We make a yearly donation to Miracle Babies—a charity whose mission is to unite families with their critically ill newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to reduce NICU admissions through prevention, education and research. Miracle Babies was hugely impactful during our own NICU stay with our first son, Sebastian, in 2016. They helped to support us both emotionally and financially, as we navigated 34 difficult days in the NICU before we were able to finally come home together as a family. It only felt right to dedicate an ongoing portion of our sales to help support other families during a NICU stay. Along with the yearly donations to Miracle Babies, we are also committing to yearly card and/or monetary donations to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who are working in the birthing communities. Systemic racism is rampant in our healthcare system. This is apparent by the consistent statistics in regards to the maternal mortality rates, specifically around Black mothers. The preterm birth rate for Black women in the state of California is 44 percent higher than the rate among all other women, and 55 percent higher than white women. Women of color are most at risk of facing pregnancy complications, and Black women are more than three times as likely as white women to die from pregnancy-related causes.1
Since The Noble Paperie is dedicated to supporting ALL women+ walking through miscarriage, loss, infertility, and difficult pregnancies, it is important to us that we also strive to support those doing the work to end these disparities in the Black community. We are committed to supporting Black birth workers and those leading birth work in the Black community. We are committed to helping PAY for the education of Black and BIPOC midwives, doulas, bereavement doulas, lactation consultants and others in the birth worker-community. One way to address the disparities in maternal and fetal mortality rates, is to support the women who are ALREADY doing the work and supporting these communities directly. If you have any questions regarding our donation practices, please reach out to us directly, and we would be happy to provide you with additional information. If you would like to be considered as a potential company, business, or advocacy group for donation, please email us at hello@thenoblepaperie.com. Finally, if you are personally interested in learning more about the disparities in maternal and fetal mortality rates among Black women, you can find foundational reading, as well as a list of Black birth workers you can directly support on our website: www.TheNoblePaperie.com/care
We are committed to supporting and funding Black birth workers. Reproductive justice needs to be comprehensive, universal, and warrants continuous attention and support.
