Pawpear is an award-winning, Irish-made stationery brand inspired by the land, language and lore of Ireland. The name comes from the Irish word for paper, páipéar, pronounced “pawpear”.
Founder Kim Whyte spent over 20 years in the creative industries, including years as a stationery designer in London, before returning home to launch Pawpear in 2022. Every design is hand-illustrated in her studio in Co. Waterford and made in Ireland with trusted Irish suppliers, from printing to packaging.
Pawpear’s greeting cards, writing sets and prints are known for being wildly colourful and unmistakably Irish. They are presented across three signature themes: Land & Sea, Flora & Fauna, and Home & Heritage.
