Paper High was born from a love of travel, with a particular fondness for Asia. In 1998, a planned year-long trip turned into a three-year journey that led to a life-changing experience in Kathmandu. There, a chance encounter with a paper maker inspired the idea for a new business. Returning to the UK with two boxes of handmade journals and photo albums, Paper High began at Camden Market, where the unique, handcrafted products quickly gained popularity. As the business grew, further travels brought connections with Fair Trade suppliers in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, including an elephant dung paper producer. Today, Paper High is a sustainable giftware business committed to Fair Trade practices and giving back to the communities that craft their products.

I had been wondering what to do with my larger/dangly earrings, as they were piling up in my drawer. I happened upon Ethical Trade Co as Manuel was opening up the store. When I saw this Haitian Tree of Life I immediately thought about hanging my earrings on it, and it worked out lovely!
