Pawpear

Like many an Irish child, Pawpear founder Kim Whyte grew up collecting paper stationery – "fancy notepaper" swapped with friends, favourite sheets kept untouched, too beautiful to use.

That early fascination with paper became a lifelong one.

After studying Graphic Design at LSAD, Kim moved to London and worked for years as a stationery designer, creating for clients who shared her love of the handwritten word.

On returning to Ireland – to the colours, words and places that shaped her and those before her – she founded Pawpear in 2022.
