We’re tearing it up this summer with the Papercut Collection — a striking mix of papercutting with our favorite historical and pop culture icons. Stay cool & look sharp in the Viking, Monkey King, and Weezy designs, all available in three colors!
THE STORY:
By the 6th century, Chinese papercutting was a high form of decoration and entertainment reserved for nobility. The art enjoyed widespread popularity between the 7th and 13th century, especially during traditional holiday festivals.
An example of historical Chinese Papercut
Today, papercutting remains a symbol of fortuity in Chinese culture; designs can be seen placed near building entrances to bring good luck and prosperity. The most skilled artists can produce unique and detailed designs with just a pair of scissors or razors in one continuous freehand cut.
Papercutting isn’t just an art form; it’s a piece of the past that has transcended time.
