Hold the moment
Paper goods and stationery that honour occasion, sentiment, and place
Photographic prints created in Vancouver
We turn everyday moments into tactile visual stories. Thoughtfully made cards, archival prints, and paper goods—featuring nature, urban scenes, and quietly considered compositions—transform each photograph into a limited‑edition piece that invites reflection. Heart‑led and carefully curated in Vancouver, our pieces are meant to be held, gifted, and cherished. Explore Walk With Me and other collections to find images that resonate—keep them as a keepsake or share them as a card or print.
Our Story
Moments by Matena began during the 2020 COVID lockdown when founder Matena Kravariotis reconnected with her hometown of Vancouver through daily walks and her camera—noticing light, coastal air, and the small details that surfaced as the city paused. Those quiet observations grew into locally made stationery and archival prints, led by the Walk With Me collection, which invites a slower gaze and renewed appreciation for place. Rooted in her Greek‑Canadian heritage, each small‑batch piece is thoughtfully designed and lovingly assembled by Matena to honour community and everyday storytelling. Find Moments by Matena at select Vancouver shops and on Etsy.
Our Collection
Moments by Matena offers photographic paper goods and gifts made in Vancouver: thoughtful greeting cards and postcard sets, mini cards and bundled packs for sending; notebooks, desktop calendars, and tote bags for everyday notes and lifestyle; framed prints, canvases, face‑mounts and custom art for display; and seasonal subscription boxes, gift baskets, and curated card packages for giving. Browse seasonal and holiday cards, neighbourhood collections from Steveston to Whistler, florals, pets, travel (including Greece), and black‑and‑white and vintage series — plus best‑seller and seasonal favourites. Wholesale inquiries and samples are welcome for shops and corporate clients seeking custom stationery, branded cards, or gift baskets.
“Matena captures the beauty and scope of life here in Vancouver. Familiar but new perspectives that bring joy, a waning commodity these days. Thank you, Matena.“
