The story behind Paper High
WFTO PRODUCERS
PAPER HIGH
The idea for Paper High came in 1998 when founders Mark Woolley & Claire Gibson set off on a year-long around the world trip. Three years later, an extended stay in Kathmandu and a chance meeting with a paper maker, sowed the seed to make their exciting business idea a reality.
After exploring India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, Mark & Claire built relationships with a network of small family businesses, community incentives, charities, and accredited Fair Trade organisations. Their aim was to champion products hand crafted by skilled artisans using sustainable or recycled materials wherever possible.
The couple eventually returned to the UK in 2002 with two large boxes of beautifully handmade journals and photo albums, and set up their very first stall at London's Camden Market. Customers loved the unique quality of the handmade books as much as they did, and so Paper High was born.
Grown from a couple's love of travel, Paper High is now a thriving business. After more than 20 years and a few more stalls, festivals, their own warehouse in East Sussex and two lovely daughters later, Mark and Claire are still selling the same very first journals – and of course an awful lot more besides! The Brand is also proud to be offering a fabulous range of homewares, bags and accessories, all of which are of course, handmade, sustainable and Fair Trade.

Wow, I was blown away by the quality of the two makeup bags that I ordered. The material is such lovely quality, and the colours are stunning. I'm absolutely thrilled with my items. They were really nice packed too, which made them extra special to open
I found this shop when I was looking for placemats. I bought 8 and then bought more as the quality was excellent for the price. Very fast delivery too!
Lovely ethical products at good prices and excellent customer service is how I'd sum up Green Tulip. Thoroughly recommended.
I ordered a few items for Christmas presents. It was all good. Great products. Quick delivery
A pleasure ordering from Green Tulip - they were very helpful and personalised our client gifts. Would recommend!
