About Flickerwell Letters

Flickerwell Letters is a subscription-based snail mail club.

Each month, subscribers receive a physical letter in the post, along with two complementary photographs — delivered in a quality envelope with an embossed seal.

These real-life stories are drawn from the public domain works of early explorers, who documented their journeys in centuries past.

The stories are curated and packaged by hand on beautiful Waiheke Island, New Zealand.
