Our take

Since its inception in 2015, Papier has experienced rapid growth and solidified its position as the leading direct-to-consumer brand in personalised stationery, cultivating a dedicated community of 'stationery addicts'

Papier's success stems from seamlessly blending traditional charm, sophistication, and personalistion with a tech-driven consumer experience. Collaborating with emerging artists and iconic brands, the company has expanded its offerings beyond in-house collections, offering a diverse array of notebooks, notecards, diaries, and more.

Experiencing significant year-on-year growth, Papier's revenue has surged over 150% since 2022, setting the stage for further expansion. With financial backing, the company is ready to enter into the US market, establishing its first US office in SoHo, New York. Beyond this, the company plans to expand product offerings into writing and desk accessories, catering to the diverse preferences of its engaged and brand-loyalty community.
