Founder of The Kensington Paperie, Fin Fellowes

Illustrating Success: The Story Behind a British Bespoke Brand

 

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 โ€‹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 thisโ€‹ is the collaboration wโ€‹ith Cabana Magazine and partnership with founder and editor, Martina Mondadori. 

The Kensington Paperie is a โ€‹nod to Finโ€™s personal love for wrapping a beautiful gift. โ€‹She has created a โ€‹stunning collection of wrapping paper inspired by the โ€‹elegance of Italian marble and vivid florals โ€‹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 tapโ€‹e 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 โ€‹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.
