There's a new gem in town! A few weeks ago, Papier Tigre, opened their first brick and mortar shop in the Haut Marais in Paris. You may already know Papier Tigre products: they create beautiful and contemporary paper products with a humorous twist.
Their new space is like their webshop: bright, smart and with funny puns everywhere. And a beautiful cardboard Christmas tree of course!
I had never seen these awesome marked & numbered "poly marbré", marbled paper shapes. They remind me of my adventures with the Paper globe 😉
One of my favorite Papier Tigre products is The Assistant, a complete agenda in recycled paper (of course) to plan your workload. It also includes a list of "how to be kind" in 21 languages, hihi! Another favorite is The Greengrocer: a vegetable moving disk calendar that shows you which fruit and veggies are "in season". So clever! And of course their snailmail products: beautiful foldable writing paper you can send right away. Oh and who ever has enough notebooks? I know I don't!
#bisou to Papier Tigre! Grrr 😉

Open every tuesday to sunday from 12:00 to 19:30 or shop online!
oh, got to check this out the next time I'm in Paris :)
Oh yes, you should ;)
What a cool shop. Definitely one for me to explore when I visit Paris in the Spring. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Judith. xx
Definitely a shop you'd enjoy, Geraldine. Maybe in 2014? Have a lovely NYE and hopefully a few days off to enjoy with your family. See you in the New Year!
The Visionnaire is my favourite product.. I bought it online €12 and they charged me €13 to ship it to the UK. It then arrived slightly creased… which annoyed me no end and I find unacceptable coming from a stationery company!
I like their stuff a lot but they seriously need to get their act together in shipping, PACKING and customer service. Was not impressed.
On a positive note, the Visionnaire is beautiful!
Oh that's such a shame, Tina! Unbelievable that they have such bad customer service. I hope they will read this and realize they messed up. And that they'll change things of course. I'm sure you'll enjoy visiting their shop whenever you're around ;)
