OUR STORY

Sustainably produced reusable and beautiful greetings cards, fabric envelopes and gift bags.

We are Hilary and Hannah, a mother and daughter team based in Somerset. Together we run our creative business RAPPU REUSABLE CARDS, making eco-friendly and unique reusable greetings cards, fabric envelopes and fabric gift bags.

Our story began one Christmas, as we were piling up the waste single use cards and wrapping paper. We discovered that many cards and wrapping paper can’t even be recycled - which means landfill or inceration, and the terrible impact that has on our environment. We also discovered that over a billion (single use) cards are bought in the UK, and more than 225,000 miles of (single use) wrapping paper is thrown away each year

And so we started looking into eco friendly alternatives. Enter the unique RAPPU reusable greetings card, fabric envelope and fabric gift bag. A simple removable insert means that the greetings card can be reused by each recipient. Zero waste and a great way for the recipient to save time and money when they pass the card along. To accompany the cards, we also offer reusable envelopes hand made from organic cotton and reusable gift bags made from organic cotton or recycled sari fabric.

OUR PROCESS

Carefully produced using eco friendly processes and sustainably sourced materials.

Every fabric item we offer is handmade in our Somerset studio. Our printed cards are designed exclusively by us, and printed by print.work using sustainable processes and 100% post-consumer waste recycled cardstock.

We commit to sourcing materials for our products in the most sustainable way possible. Our gift bags are either made from certified organic cotton or good quality vintage saris and recycled fabrics. Our reusable fabric envelopes are made from traceable organic cotton calico.

We use responsibly sourced organic cotton thread for all our products, and organic cotton tape to make gift bag drawstrings. In line with our plastic free policy, the bags have metal cord stops and the envelopes are fastened with shell or corozo nut (vegan) buttons.

We turn our waste card and fabric into eco-friendly gift tags. All packaging is 100% recycled and we only use eco-friendly paper tape.

    "The card design is a beautiful piece of artwork. The card itself is reusable - such a clever idea with the insert that can be changed. Very eco and very attractive!"
