About Papyrus Cotton
Papyrus Cotton is a Bombay based brand established in 2019, run by Dhanvi Shah who is an architecture graduate from SEA. The brand epitomizes the art of handcrafted stationery. It has its genesis from the urge to create unique sketchbooks, each suited for a specific purpose. All elements are meticulously, patiently and passionately made by imbibing different binding techniques. It is an environmentally conscious practice, slowly made where all the paper waste is repurposed.
In addition to the rooted practice, it has further branched into various areas of expertise such as making of bookmarks, flower pressed phone covers, journaling materials, coffee and tea-infused paper bundles, recycled handmade papers, gift tags, calligraphy letters and postcards amongst others.
