Shan Paper Envelope (Set of 5)
Shan Paper Envelope (Set of 5)
Dacco Myanmar
Embedded with real, naturally dried wildflowers and leaves, each of our textured, raw, and organically beautiful Shan envelopes captures a moment of spring, permanently suspended within the fibres.
Made in Shan State, Myanmar, by Shan women artisans, this paper begins with the mulberry trees. Its bark is carefully stripped, soaked, pounded, and dried through a time-intensive process that has been passed down for generations in Shan State.
It’s something you use when the message matters. Letters, gifts, keepsakes… or when you want someone to know you didn’t just grab the nearest thing.
If you really want to show your significant other you care, this is a good place to start.
(We can’t promise what happens next, but it definitely helps.)
Please note that because every sheet is crafted by hand and adorned with wild-foraged leaves and petals, no two envelopes will ever be exactly alike. The set will be randomly selected for you.
