Give, Live, Create, Celebrate
It’s more than what we do. It’s the core of who we are.
We live by our mission to inspire you to “Do Something Creative Every Day”. Whether that’s by giving thoughtful gifts, living a well-organized life, creating your project, or celebrating life’s special moments, we strive to bring joy to every step of your creative journey
At Paper Source, we believe that every moment presents a new opportunity to create something special. From the journal where you share your most precious memories, to the stationery that helps you celebrate life’s simple joys, we’ve thoughtfully designed each boutique Paper Source location, down to the very last card on the shelf, to be your inspiration haven
Handcrafted Heritage
When Sue Lindstrom opened the first Paper Source location in Chicago in 1983, she set out to share the beauty of handcrafted papers from around the world, with the world – and we continue to carry this mission in everything we do. Over the past three decades, we’ve expanded our products, grown our team of passionate creative professionals, and connected with communities nationwide.
In 2015, Winnie Park brought new life to the Paper Source legacy. Her experience holding executive leadership positions for global brands, including Hong Kong-based luxury shopping leader DFS and Levi Strauss and Company, combined with her distinguished expertise in Global Marketing, eCommerce, and Merchandising have allowed Paper Source to reach a perfect synergy where product decoration meets creative innovation
