Kamal Paper Products

You there, with the abbreviated vocab and early arthritis. Put down the phone and pick up the pen.

It’s time to trade text messaging for textile messaging, courtesy of Kamal paper products.

Virginia-based designer Kamal Patel creates colorful, patterned greeting cards that get the message across in as many characters as you like. She takes cues from her Indian heritage, sourcing antique beads from the East to embellish her pinwheel cards with intricate dots and swirls.

Choose from a spunky selection of starbursts, peacock feathers, botanicals, and geometric prints with art deco appeal. Patel uses recycled paper and hand-mixed inks, so there’s no need to worry about your carbon footprint.

Find wrapping paper and coasters, too. Buy them.

ASAP.
