No Templates
Every design has its own character. We would rather create one card that makes someone smile than a hundred that look the same.
Our Story
A mini company with a big love for watercolour — and for the people you give to.
How Southwish Began
It started with a simple feeling: the small things are the ones we remember.
A card kept for years in a drawer. A box that became a home for letters. Paper so pretty that nobody wanted to tear it. We noticed that these little details often mean more than the present itself — and we wanted to make more of them.
So we became a small studio devoted to watercolour illustration. Every design starts as a pencil-and-paint sketch on paper; we then bring it onto a tablet to refine the colours and soft edges, and finally send it to print. The result is characters with their own small stories — and the warmth of a hand-drawn line. Today we create postcards for the year’s favourite celebrations, and choose boxes and papers that make every gift feel cared for.
“We don’t make templates. We make warmth.”
What We Believe In
Three little promises behind everything we make.
Watercolour at Heart
Each illustration is sketched by hand on paper, finished on a tablet and printed on textured card — gentle, airy, full of light and ready for your words.
A Personal Touch
There’s no automatic checkout here. A real person reads every request, checks what’s available and helps you put the perfect gift together.
“If you want to give something to someone dear — you’ve come to the right place.”
