A special meeting with Asha Handicrafts Association 💜 Yesterday we had the joy of meeting up in Lewes with the wonderful team at @asha_handicrafts , who we’ve been working with for the past six years. They flew over from India to spend some time with us. We’ve collaborated before on our recycled cotton throws, and being able to reconnect face to face over good food and lots of conversation, felt incredibly meaningful. At Paper High, we truly believe the best products come from close, long‑standing relationships. Staying in touch, sharing ideas, and working side by side with the makers behind our pieces is at the heart of everything we do. Swipe to see a little sneak peek of what we’ve been working on together… Kantha tote bags ✨ Made using upcycled fabrics from the garment industry, traditional techniques and are full of character, they’ll be coming soon and we couldn’t be more excited! 📸 1: Dinner in Lewes with the Asha team, Mark & Claire 📸 2: Kantha totes – coming soon to Paper High #PaperHigh #MeetTheMakers #EthicalProduction #Kantha @baftsuk

🔨For Dad’s Next Big Project🖌️ We headed to @rodhuscreativestudios , a creative space in Brighton to shoot some photos for Father's Day and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. This workshop was the perfect backdrop for showcasing our aprons and tool belts, celebrating their versatility. With Father's Day coming up, it's a lovely opportunity to share gifts that are both practical and thoughtfully made. Our personalised aprons and tool belts are ideal for anyone who enjoys time in the workshop, garden or shed, keeping clothes protected while they get on with the hobbies they love. #fathersday #fairtrade #fathersdaygifts @BAFTS
