The Paper Story was started by two designers, graphic designer Jimmy Khoury and UI/UX designer Melissa Saliba, who wanted paper goods that look and sound Lebanese. Their notebooks, planners and greeting cards are hand-illustrated and printed on recycled paper in Lebanon, with designs taken from local culture, humor and art. The range includes a clean weekly planner with a red edge for home, school or office, and the Weekly Planner 3al Lebnéné, a tear-off desk pad running Monday to Saturday with a joking Lebanese theme. They also make paper vases, plus pens and pencils to go with the notebooks. The brand sells through the Wakilni marketplace.
