Come on in, paper people. Since 2015, weve created stationery that feeds curiosity and contemplation. In every piece of Papier is the promise of whats to come, the endless possibilities of a blank page. Were an emporium of eclectic designs, curated for you to make wondrously your own. Each and every one can be personalised so it means more, alive in the hands of its maker. A one-off piece of stationery thats as individual as the thoughts, feelings and dreams youll place on the page. Alongside our in-house collections, we collaborate with bright, upcoming artists, iconic brands and exciting fashion labels. Theyre all fellow paper people whose varied creative talents bring a magical touch to our stationery.

Casablanca comes to life in a palette that simultaneously evokes the clay tennis courts and the sunbaked terracotta of North Africa; accented with fresh tennis whites and pops of pastel. Sportswear inspired silhouettes are refined but relaxed, and presented in crisp cotton and plush terrycloth. Casablanca’s aesthetic is a fusion between lux and leisurewear, a perfect equilibrium of comfort and elegance. Casablanca re-interprets timeless environments of a luxurious heritage hotel suite or a crisp glass of champagne at a private country club terrace sunset. Adding a vivacity of colour keeps the brand youthful and easily inserted into a plethora of daily living. Casablanca is a modern reimagining of the timeless apres-sport aesthetic. Applying Neapolitan tailoring techniques to tennis-inspired statement pieces. Casablanca offers pieces for wearing when the days exertions are done, but the night has not yet begun. Those magical hours, marked by their sense of ease and heady anticipation, can be the most decadent part of the day. It’s a combination that belies the rich dual heritage of Casablanca’s French-Moroccan founder, Charaf Tajer.

Pure co-founders and childhood friends Mat and Dan set out with an ambition to create the healthiest, convenience pet food on the market. Since then it’s been our mission to inspire a healthier world for pets. All our food is made in own human grade food facility in Yorkshire, using only the very best fresh and raw ingredients, which are gently air-dried to lock in their goodness. Owners simply add water to create a healthy, natural meal for your dog. Made with the same quality ingredients youd find in your own food, containing no grains, meat derivatives or any other nasties. We’ve had thousands of success stories that mention such improvements as glossier coats, happier tummies and emptier bowls.
