Bamboo Worth Writing Home About

Date: July 22, 2008 | Category: Office, The Home

Inspired by a love of nature and artisanal printing, Smock Stationery transforms ethically harvested, “Panda-safe” bamboo from Thailand into luxury paper fit to invite royalty to your daughter’s first formal tea or your son’s black tie soiree. Incorporating European patterns and fresh, contemporary designs, Smock utilizes 20 antique presses and an historic European paper mill to create exceptional, pesticide-free stationery. The note cards are soft yet substantial, embossed with simple, elegant designs that coordinate beautifully with the interior envelope flaps.

The first company in the United States to print on luxury bamboo paper, Smock is a carbon-neutral company that is devoted to fair trade practices. Members of One Percent for the Planet, they also contribute to other environmental nonprofits. Surplus paper goods are donated to local public schools in Syracuse, New York. If I lived on the East Coast and was a few years younger, I’d enroll just to get my hands on some of this ecofab paper. Guess I’ll have to settle for escargot mail.
