OUR STORY
OUR VALUES
We believe that color is everything. That quality and craftsmanship mean something. That you can never have too much dry shampoo and top buns are life. We believe mamas are the heartbeats of their families. That our daughters deserve the same opportunities as our sons. We believe in mom squads and wine slushies. We believe in the heart-melting power of raised arms and little lips saying “mama” at our legs. We believe in microwaving coffee five times a day. We wear spit up and snot proudly. We believe in raising the next generation to love everyone for who they are. We believe that sharing is caring and quiet time is the key to happiness. We believe you are doing your best. We believe in thriving and surviving — depending on how naps have gone that day. We believe in the squeal of a waddling baby being chased. We believe in celebrating your people. We believe in sitting around with our friends, listening to our little ones laughing and quietly thinking to ourselves — my heart is full.
We believe these are the good old days and they are worth celebrating now.
We are Studio Pep® and we are your new mom friend.
OUR PROCESS
At Studio Pep® we take great pride in our products. We are firm believers in the artisan process, quality materials and made in America . First, we start with premium, eco-friendly, American-made tissue paper. Each sheet is counted, folded and pressed to create our signature tissue paper circles. We blend shiny flecks, which are made in the USA, into some of our batches as well. Each batch is mixed by hand and packaged with love into tubes, packs or balloons. All of our balloons are sourced from North America and are made from high quality latex.
Our premium materials allow us to achieve some of the brightest colors you will find , but also create super soft and dreamy confetti. We do not tolerate half filled tubes, paper dust or rough, thin confetti!
We hope you can see the love and care we put into all of our products.
ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Adrianne Pepitone, founder and creative director, launched Studio Pep® in 2015. Before Studio Pep began, Adrianne grew up in a home that knew how to throw a damn good party. Her mom and dad would make sure that every birthday, family gathering and holiday was celebrated to the fullest. Decorations, games, piñatas, crafts, theme menus — everyone always said they had the best parties. These crazy themed celebrations continue to this day as Adrianne and her family gather each month to play Pictionary, drink wine and be together.
Adrianne started her first business in 2012 at the kitchen table of her first apartment as a newly married wife to her husband Blaise. Dreaming of starting a business and a family, Adrianne put her BFA in graphic design to work and created a shop featuring flag programs and ribbon wands she made for her own wedding. She still remembers the first order she fulfilled with trembling hands and a grateful heart. Her wedding business eventually transitioned into what Adrianne was truly passionate about —celebrations — and then took on its own identity as Studio Pep®.
Studio Pep® began as an online retail shop, featuring fun and bright party products that caught Adrianne’s eye. Adrianne started to dream of ways to incorporate her love of color with new materials, like tissue paper and balloons. She decided to design her own party products and feature them in her shop to see how they would do. Those products quickly took off and Adrianne launched an exclusive Studio Pep® website and wholesale program. Now Studio Pep® products are available in retailers across the country and internationally.
Adrianne hopes that Studio Pep® brings fun and happiness to each home that it enters and is a reflection of what we will lovingly refer to as the good old days in years to come.
