Postcards from Curaçao

Unusual, sunny postcards with a twist

My graphic design studio Memento Vivi started publishing unusual postcards in 2003. Till 2011 plenty tourists surprised family and friends with postcards with messages like”When am I coming back? … when Curaçao freezes over!”

From Curaçao with love

These postcards were a real Curaçao product: created and printed in Curaçao.

Postcards of a picture perfect tropical island

Of course, while staying on Curaçao, the most stunning island ever, you would like to share your holiday fun with your friends back home.

boxes with postcards // 2007 — More than 75.000 postcards were sold between 2003 and 2011.

Don’t send these postcards to your friends!

However, are you bold enough to send them a postcard with a pixel perfect photo of a picture perfect tropical beach and a cheeky one-liner. It is not that you delight in other people’s misfortunes, do you ;)
The postcards of Memento Vivi are only available in Curaçao (so your friends can’t take revenge).
