Founded in 1998 in the 6th arrondissement, L’Art du papier - ‘The Art of Paper’ - now has a fair few branches scattered across the city (Vavin, Opéra, Voltaire and Villiers). With everything from pretty floral Rifle Paper Co. notebooks to sublime Faber Castell pens and envelopes in every possible colour, this Parisian stationers wears its name well.
Stock up on your desk supplies with elephant-shaped post-it notes, vellum paper cards and Moleskine and recycled paper notebooks – while their ink-stamps (€6 to €22.50), masking tape, customisable photo albums and metres of ribbon are perfect for arts and craft sessions. This is every scrapbooker’s dream. On top of that, you’ll find everything you could possibly need to initiate yourself in the art of origami.
L’Art du papier also crafts and prints wedding announcements with a production time of between three weeks and a month, although engravings will take longer. The finesse of such handiwork and beautiful typography are sure to give any blossoming couple a few ideas.
