Wedding Stationery & Craft Retreats in Aberdeen
The Papeterie has been nurturing creativity since its establishment in the early 2000s at Stoneywood Mill in Aberdeen. Following the mill's closure, we preserved its legacy by evolving into two distinct brands: Papeterie Crafts and Papeterie Stationery. With nearly two decades of combined experience, Charlotte and Debbi acquired the business in 2021, building on its strong foundations to offer inspiring solutions for creative needs. Our expertise spans bespoke wedding and event stationery, including save-the-dates, invitations, and on-the-day essentials, alongside immersive craft retreats for all skill levels.We empower creativity through curated collections, DIY packages, and exclusive craft products, ensuring every detail aligns with our clients' visions. Our retreats provide comprehensive tools and materials, fostering a supportive environment for crafters to explore techniques like card-making and altered art. We continuously refine our offerings based on guest feedback, maintaining our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Our online platform extends our reach, allowing us to serve clients nationwide while retaining our Aberdeen roots.
