About Us

The founders and owners of Coyne and Pinckney Stationery are a husband and wife team located in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.  Brittany and Paul Cuenin  met at Clemson University in 2004 and married on Fripp Island in 2007.  Since their first date, many of their conversations have included the desire to run their own company.  Aside from many things, their priorities and passions in life are family and working hard – and they both knew that they would work well together!

After moving to the mid-west and back to the Lowcountry, they decided the timing was right and they had the passion and experience to launch their own company.  They had combined years of experience in retail, printing and customer service.

Why now? They felt that it was time for a company to create stationery in a southern style that was both affordable and driven by quality.  Many businesses sacrifice quality for the sake of a dime, but they believe that never has to be the case.  Coyne and Pinckney is driven to create a product that customers will use and cherish.

Who is Coyne? Who is Pinckney?

Coyne and Pinckney are the names of our grandmother’s (one married, one maiden). Our lives are inspired and motivated by the heritage of our ancestors and our families.  From fighting wars to planting crops and raising children, they have given us the tools to be the people we are today.

Coyne is a traditional Irish family name and represents the history of a small country that is big in the written word and communication.  It is an Irish heritage that is enchanting, hard working and tightly knit. The name Coyne  means wild goose which is fitting,  since the goose quill is not only our symbol but also the traditional tool of written communication. The name is more closely associated with literary than with political or other activities; apart from the distinguished Jesuit , Father Coyne, Joseph Sterling Coyne (1803 – 1868), was a very well known playwright and satirist and was one of the founders of the English Punch. Reverend Joseph Coyne , P.P. (1839 – 1891), was also an author of repute and contributor to the Nation , as was John Coen (born circa 1820). The Coyne family name represents heritage in language, just like the Pinckney name.

Pinckney is a name that populates the South, especially in South Carolina.  It is a name that recalls history for many students but for us, represents family, love and a certain disposition for life.  Eliza Lucas Pinckney is a familiar figure because she was a 18th century entrepreneur and brought indigo to South Carolina as its major cash crop.  She was also the first woman inducted to the South Carolina Business Hall of fame.  Her son, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney signed the U.S. Constitution.

These are our family names and our history.  Coyne and Pinckney is dedicated to creating distinctive stationery that makes written communication all the more special.
