Founder of The Kensington Paperie, Fin Fellowes
Illustrating Success: The Story Behind a British Bespoke Brand, The Kensington Paperie
If you love bespoke brands, you will absolutely adore this episode, as we host Fin Fellowes, London-based artist, illustrator and founder of The Kensington Paperie.
For over a decade, Fin has been known for exquisite one-of-a-kind paper creations for special events, weddings, and luxury brands across the world. A notable example of this is the collaboration with Cabana Magazine and partnership with founder and editor, Martina Mondadori.
The Kensington Paperie is a nod to Fin’s personal love for wrapping a beautiful gift. She has created a stunning collection of wrapping paper inspired by the elegance of Italian marble and vivid florals reminiscent of the 18th-century English textile designer, Anna Maria Garthwaite. These thoughtfully designed papers are complemented with unique textures such as raw silk ribbon and Japanese washi tape resulting in a style that elevates gift-giving in an extraordinary and emotional way.
The exceptional work of Fin Fellows and The Kensington Paperie has garnered recognition in publications such as Cabana Magazine, US Vogue, House & Garden, and the Wall Street Journal.
Fin has not only established a brand that beautifully embodies British style and design, but her distinctive touch has also positioned it in a covetable space. Her spirit and brilliant combination of creativity and purposeful vision suggest that The Kensington Paperie is truly on its way to becoming a cherished British heritage brand.
