About The Brown Paper Movement

Hi! I'm Olivia and I started The Brown Paper Movement in Sydney, Australia in 2014. The business then grew in Copenhagen, living there for 5 years. I believe the human eye is triggered by beautiful and visually pleasing objects. When we combine this with writing and using our hands, the second tool we use to describe ourselves after speech, something happens. A goal, milestone or event becomes more real the moment it is on paper. Today, we are based back home and growing our presence in Australia. MINDFUL STATIONERY - Since 2014, The Brown Paper Movement has always stood for change. From the business name to the paper we use, there is an ethos that lies behind it in sustainability and stationery going beyond the norm. Stationery that matters. Our calendars remind you to pause, reflect and take time to put pen to paper. CARING FOR OUR EARTH - Every year, we make a small batch of calendars for our community. Making more isn’t necessarily better and calendars do expire, so we pride ourselves on staying small. In 2018, we added a notepad to the back of all calendars so you can use your it long after the year is over. We encourage flipping the page, jotting down notes, creative thoughts or letting your kids draw and play on the paper. Our calendars are made from locally sourced papers deriving from England, Germany and Sweden. The content of these are either made from recycled fibres from post-consumer waste or acid-free cotton pulp without optical brightness additives.Read their story
