Cara Kozik x Soirée All Day Collaboration

I've teamed up with Soirée All Day, A stationary and paper company made for life's many celebrations founded by Hollis Ghallager, one of my oldest friends. Her signature style is a sophisticated maximalism with timeless quality with a fresh modern twist- that has recently expanded to Majong essentials.

Hollis and I have been scheming, crafting and collaborating since we were in middle school together. Staying up all night sewing and journaling, making beautiful (or not so beautiful) things together for decades. 

For years we've both worked in and out of creative fields for various companies. A creative thread always running through our friendship, Hollis launched Soiree All Day a few years aback and it has been undeniably fun to watch her grow her business and see it thrive. It was only a matter of time before we collaborated. We've casually chatted about it for years, but between having babies and running businesses it always got pushed to the back burner.

Until last spring in Mexico, over margaritas at our annual girls weekend with our two other pals- a point of pride that we’ve been doing annual girls trips for over 15 years. Hollis has recently expanded into Majong essentials and had the idea that we could collaborate on a Mahjong mat. What followed was video calls between nap times and school pick-ups, a bi -coastal project taking shape —and a few brainstorming sessions that may have veered into vision casting for our next girls trip before getting back on track for our collaboration

I'm so proud of what we've created. The collection includes a festive and functional mahjong mat, double sided wrapping paper that I'm obsessed with, holiday cards, gifts tags and invites. Cheers to long lasting friendships and creative kindred spirits.

And some fun press about Hollis that when I even get an honorable mention.
