Karen and Martin Cooper are Parsons School of Design graduates, where the world's most consequential American designers have always begun. They are CFDA members: the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the peer-elected body that is, in fashion, what the Academy is to film. And they are, as far as anyone knows, the first married couple to be inducted into the CFDA together, in the same year.

It says something about how they work: always together, always as equals, always building something that neither could have built alone.

Karen Suen-Cooper graduated from Parsons and a Gold Thimble winner. Karen was immediately recruited by Anne Klein — the house that invented American athleisure — before becoming VP-Creative Director at Kieselstein-Cord. She later founded SUEN | COOPER, her own luxury leather goods line, carried by Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue.

A CFDA member, Karen brings the same precision she applied to a crocodile clutch to the curation of a table setting. She is also a classical pianist, a permaculture enthusiast, and the literary voice behind everything Mr. P's writes, says, and believes.

After thirty-six years building careers at the highest levels of fashion, Karen and Martin made each other a promise: whatever came next had to bring them joy. And more than that — it had to bring joy to others. That promise became a philosophy, and a company. Because every place card they ship means someone, somewhere, is about to gather with the people they love most. That, as it turns out, is medicine for the soul.
