I’m absolutely loving the new line of eco-friendly gift wrap from Houston, Texas based architect and designer, Sophia Malik. The Local Paper was developed from a love of pattern and design, and the collection takes its inspiration from travel, nature, and life.

The Local Paper’s first collection, the San Jose Collection, was inspired by a trip to Costa Rica and features pattern elements based on the intricate architectural details that can be found throughout the city. I can’t get enough of the subdued, oh so modern palette of white and silver on kraft colored paper, coupled with the gorgeous patterns.

The Local Paper products are created with a great commitment to both design and the environments. All products are printed on FSC certified papers with 30% recycled post-consumer fiber, and all of their packaging is recycled, recyclable, and biodegradable.
