respect & authenticityโฏโฏ
We believe that a business has to be based on values to create valueโฏโ for itsโฏcustomers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and forโฏsociety as a whole.โฏโฏ
At paper republic, we are committed toโฏrespect &โฏauthenticity. We aim to respect our environment byโฏcreating products that are made toย lastโฏand are craftedโฏfromโฏsustainable and natural materials. We respect our customers, suppliers and team members and treat themโฏas partners of our republic.โฏโฏย
We want toโฏcraft authentic products: goodsโฏwith a story and soul. We want to know and be transparent about the origin and composition of the materials we use.โฏThis is our mission: to do all things well.
weย do the hard work
We design, craft, prepare,โฏpersonaliseโฏand ship all our products upon orderโฏfrom our base in Vienna. We believe in the goodโฏof doing thingsโฏourselvesโฏโ andโฏwhen we cannot we โฏwork with the best and nicest people around.โฏโฏ
By producing as much as possible in-house and avoiding middlemen, from production to sales, we are able to pass on more value to you and keep a very close eye on the quality of the goods we produce.โฏโฏย
We source our raw materials directly from family-run businesses that we know personally and with whom we share a common way of doings things. Most of them are either in Austria or reasonably close by, in Italy, Germany, Sweden or France.โฏโฏย
it's all about the senses
paper republic stands for stunning vegetable-tanned, full-grain soft cow leather. We buy our leather directly from family-run tanneries in the heart of Tuscany (Italy) which use absolutely no chrome in the tanning process - only natural, non-chemical extracts. This ancestral tanning is a slow and artisanal process: it takes on average two months to tan and dye a cow hide. The vegetable-tanning means that the colour and texture of our leather have a natural look and develop a unique patina over time.
The writing paper we use in our notebooks is made in one of the best, if not the best, European paper mill in Sweden. It is acid-free, wood-free FSC-certified 80gsm natural paper with a nice cream colour and a soft touch.
A personal message fromโฏJรฉrรดmeโฏBacquias, Founder of paper republicโฏโฏย
Iโฏcreated paper republic six years ago, and to be honest,โฏIโmโฏnot sure if at that timeโฏI hadโฏa very clear idea of what I was doing. Iโฏhadโฏjustโฏquit my job and was about to become a father. Iโฏhad no experience whatsoever with paper or leather.โฏEveryone was creating apps and I was betting on paper. Companies were outsourcing toโฏChina and I was committed to producing in Europe.โฏThe only thing I knewโฏis that I wanted my freedom back: the freedom do things that I thought were right, to be accountable for my successes and failures,โฏand to find a meaning in what I was doing.โฏโฏ
paper republic is the result of this attempt: โpaperโ because writing and reading are at the core of ourโฏculture, โrepublicโ becauseโฏโฏresโฏpublicaโฏโฏis in its first meaning, inโฏlatin, the common good, thatโฏvery thing whichโฏbrings us togetherโฏand that we share.โฏ
This is what I would like to convey to you when you join us on this journey: a certain sense of freedom,โฏcultureโฏand common good that is the very core of paper republicโs promise.โฏโฏ
Welcome to our republic!โฏ
