Our Story

Founded in 2007, Paper Trails was built on the principle that encouraging people to communicate through the written word will enhance their sense of self expression and deepen relationships with those around them. With that theory in mind, Paper Trails carries products that are distinctive in their bright design, clever style and witty charm. (Seriously, you’ll be laughing out loud at the section of snarky greeting cards.) The shop has over 1000 square feet dedicated to specialty paper.
