| The word
Papyrus (pah·pie·rus) comes
from the earliest form of paper
crafted from the papyrus plant.
Papyrus was founded in the
family kitchen of Marcel and
Margrit Schurman in 1950. Inspired
by a love of fine art, they
had a vision for products of
uncompromising quality which
provided the starting point
from which genuine personal
connections are made. They
presented their products in
an inviting gallery setting
to encourage engagement with
the products and with a friendly
helpful staff. 55 years, 6,000 accounts, and over 150 stores later, Papyrus is the destination for celebrating life and all of its moments. Our Schurman Fine Papers corporate name and our Marcel Schurman brand will now be united behind one brand, Papyrus. Under the leadership of Marcel’s and Margrit’s daughter, Dominique Schurman, Papyrus is charting a future shaped by modern, relevant and elegant design. In stores nationwide, Papyrus offers an ever-expanding array of products including custom printed announcements, products for entertaining, greeting cards, gift wrap, gift bags, stationery, note cards, journals and unique gift products. |
