# Retro Traveller Stationery The A Pair of Pears Postcards Make Use of Old School Designs By Jordy E | Published 2013-02-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-pair-of-pears References: [missmoss.co.za](http://www.missmoss.co.za/2013/01/27/catch-up-art-design/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/120493334/travel-postcards-set-of-6) The A Pair of Pears traveler-themed postcards incorporate [retro designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pippo) and layouts. Pleasant greetings that read "Let's Go to The City," "Wishing You a Beautiful Day" and "Sending You a Hello" are paired with saturated black and white images of busy city streets and barren shores, depicting scenes that many would conjure up when thinking of New York and California in the 1960s. These A Pair of Pears [stationery pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seoul-my-soul) are however quite contemporary as the pictures displayed were recently taken by the company. The six piece set also benefits from the standard 4"x6" size of postcards as buyers are provided with adequate amounts of space for hand written messages. With three different designs, the set will certainly be of mass appeal to its [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) audience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Designs:** Opportunity to incorporate vintage aesthetics into modern products. - **Traveler-themed Stationery:** Meeting the demand for unique and nostalgic travel-inspired stationery. - **Postcard Sets:** Providing a convenient and stylish way to send personalized messages. ### Where This Applies - **Stationery:** Incorporating retro designs into stationery products for a nostalgic appeal. - **E-commerce:** Selling unique and niche products like traveler-themed postcards through online platforms like Etsy. - **Printing and Publishing:** Catering to the growing demand for customized postcards and stationery products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Mail Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-letter-card-co.md) - [City-Focused Postcard Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-series.md) - [Retro Japanese-Inspired Cafe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-bakery.md) - [Customizable Marketing Postcards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress.md) - [Digital Postcard Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-postcard.md) - [Collaborative Art Museum Stationary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papier-x-the-met.md) - [Ethereal Stationary Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eccolo.md) - [Mid-Century Modern Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-playing-cards.md) - [Immersive Greeting Card Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anything-roots-post.md)
