How do you say 'paper' in your language?

Just over a year ago, my family and I became displaced (again). Moving to a new country, learning yet another new language, I decided to leave my academic career and set up my own little business to keep me sane while having more time to spend with my family.

Paper, Papel, Papier was born out of my passions for eco-paper, typography and languages. I am also passionate about diversity (cultural and linguistic).

The shop is called Paper Papel Papier because these are the words used in my family to refer to paper (luckily German and French share the same word). 

I design simple, modern, eco- and multilingual- friendly paper goods.

Additional policies and FAQs
Custom:
I love custom requests. Do get in touch if you have any questions, I will be happy to help.I do not normally charge design fees.
In all cases where design work is required (e.g. drawing, etc), I offer one free proof. After that, I request a 10% deposit (non-refundable). This deposit is then deducted off the final bill.

Discounts:
I am happy to give a 10% discount for orders of 5 sets of cards or over and 15% for orders of 10 sets or over.

Handmade products:
All of my work is handmade. Cards are created by me one by one by hand. So no two items are absolutely 100% identical. That is part of the beauty of the product! Even though I always try and make the items as identical to the one you see on screen as possible, please allow for slight irregularities and slight variations.
