All tissue paper is acid free, so protects your buys, but since it doesn’t have logos on it + minimal tapes or stickers you can reuse it again. What you buy is special so it’s tied with a ribbon in Paper Houses Design’s signature orange colour. Also, no glue is used in this finishing stage so again it can be reused. If you don’t have a ribbon tin this is the perfect excuse to start one. Birthday + Christmas presents instantly look much better with a ribbon.
So that’s what’s been developed so far + by you supporting Paper Houses Design as well as re-using or recycling the packaging you also are being more sustainable! Great, right? A little here + there will make a big difference to this beautiful place.
Paper Houses Design isn’t stopping there though! At the moment, Gutermann thread, which is well known for its quality is used on all the products. Though I’ve been talking with a UK based thread manufacturer to see if they can supply the thread required, therefore cutting down on the distance the thread travels. The types of fabrics used to line products like the cases are being looked further into in order to see if there is a suitable alternative that will stand up to use. It’s important to be greener, not only in what we use but how long products last!
Hopefully you can help Paper Houses Design along on this journey by supporting us. On Tuesday 5th February, our first life style collection Signals will be launched on Kickstarter. You will be able to pre-order some of the collection at a less than RRP price + special Kickstarter rewards too. The outcome of this support will mean Paper Houses Design will be able to ethically make this collection. All the months of hard work + research is accumulating to this! It’s exciting, scary + brilliant all at the same time. So, let’s make this project happen together!
