We call ourselves "design archaeologists", who dig through the past to find designs and decorated papers and resurrect them by reproducing and
reimagining these often hidden examples of beauty. We then make them available as decorative paper and derivative products.
We also are selling pens and other fun office supplies, because all notebooks need a pen to go with them!
