Different Strokes Tree-Free Notecards | Set of 16

Sustainable Threads creates design-led, fair trade goods made in partnership with artisan communities across India. The Different Strokes notecards start with something that would otherwise be thrown away: cotton scrap fabric left over from garment making. It is turned into soft, unbleached paper, then hand screen printed with artisan-crafted motifs. Each box holds sixteen cards in two coordinated prints, with coordinating envelopes, made by artisans of the Recycled Paper Initiative in Northern India.

Why We Love It

• Tree-free paper made from recycled cotton scraps. It is unbleached and Processed Chlorine-Free, so the product and the process are earth-friendly
• Hand screen printed with azo-free, low-impact dyes, so each card carries the mark of the hand that made it
• Made by rural and low-income artisans of the Recycled Paper Initiative, who form each sheet by hand in a traditional papermaking craft
• Boxed and blank inside, ready for your own words. A thoughtful gift for thank-yous, client notes, birthdays, or anyone who still writes by hand
