Paper Options

we offer a variety of paper choices for custom wedding invitations, including our line of handmade papers produced in house from recycled cotton..

handmade papers

We produce 100% recycled cotton sheets of paper by hand at our urban paper mill in Portland, Oregon. Soft deckled edges are formed as each sheet is drawn from a vat of water and pulp. Due to the natural, handmade quality, paper may vary slightly in thickness, color, and texture. Our paper is strong, acid-free and produced with remnants from the garment industry.

Deckled, cut edges, or rounded corners can be substituted on most designs (may affect pricing).
