Meet The "Love Is Love" Team

Marva J. Laws aka "Marvelous Marva"

With an abundance of passion, a clear vision and excitement, Author & Owner, "Marva J. Laws" knew without a doubt there was a huge omission in the greeting card industry not acknowledging love in all forms regardless of who you love.

After contacting the world's largest greeting card manufacturer with her idea and offering to write these greeting cards and was told they do not accept outside writers... Marva, heartbroken and inspired at the same time... not afraid, instantly said to herself, "I'll start my own company."

That was the beginning of what is now known as "LOVE IS LOVE" featuring "MADISON'S PET COLLECTION"

Marva began learning as much about the greeting card industry as possible, and then began writing the most amazing greeting cards with an authentic voice, each possessing a sincere heartbeat of love that can be felt as they were read.

Immediately, it was obvious that she was creating extraordinary, incredible, marvelous greeting cards... some actually breathtaking while covering topics that have never been covered with undeniable honesty, capturing the recipient instantaneously, often pulling on the heart strings along the way...

"Love Is Love" has grown by way of Greeting Cards, Apparel & Gifts has created a brand that has continued to delight, impress and be welcomed by all... You see, Love Is Love is more than a boutique... it's an experience.

Embracing Diversity

The company caters to two distinct groups: the LGBTQ+ community and pet lovers. The initial collection of greeting cards was tailored for the LGBTQ+ community, promoting inclusivity and acceptance. As public attitudes evolved towards greater understanding, "Love is Love" aimed to bridge gaps and encourage conversations. Marva Laws ventured into crafting heartfelt and candid greeting cards that resonated with individuals seeking to express love from all perspectives.
