Paper People's Super Springy Sash Dress


One of my most feminine pieces, the sash dress is made from organic jersey (bamboo and soy or organic cotton) and comes in black, purple, green and burgundy. The sash is made from a strip of jersey, recycled silk and a delicate cotton pompom like trim. The purple, green and burgundy dresses are hand dyed for colour depth and variation.I just brought the black dresses in last week, and the colours should arrive sometime this week.

Paper People's Cropped Ribbon Tie Sweater

A cute little sweater, perfect for layering over spring dresses and tops until the real summer comes, this piece is made from soft, lightweight sweaters and comes in a variety of colours. I just brought a bunch in last week. The good colours go quickly, so come in soon for the best selection!

Paper People Spring Shrugs


Another favourite of mine is the "doillie shrug". This shrug is a really innovative drapey design. It comes in cotton/silk/acrylic blend sweaters, so it's cool, breathable and non itchy. The best feature is the back cut out which is embellished with a vintage lace doillie. Come check them out soon!

Paper People Spring Tops!

This is one of my favourite new spring styles. It's made from the thinnest bamboo jersey and features with a delicate ruffle trim and teenie tiny buttons. It comes in brown with purple trim, sage with burgundy trim and burgundy with pale green trim.
