COLOUR INSPIRATION:
Over a decade ago, South African cement bags employed three layers of Kraft paper for 50kg cement. The simplicity and natural colour of Kraft resonate with nature’s origin of paper: forests, soil, and trees, making a blank canvas that inspires creativity with the ability to draw on it.
DIMENSIONS:
28.5cm(W) x 37cm(H), base: 27cm(W) x 10cm(D)
HOW IT IS MADE: Wren’s innovative approach shifted unprinted kraft paper from inside cement bags to the outside. Today, they source paper directly from local packaging printing factories, reclaiming discarded ends of paper reels due to imperfections.
At their studio in Muizenberg, Cape Town, Wren’s expert team of makers hand-cut, fuse with cotton for strength, stitch, and apply environmentally-friendly Nano Liquid Glass for water resistance.

| Coating | Wren paper products are coated with Nano liquid glass, making them water, dirt and oil resistant. This is an environmentally friendly coating. |
|---|---|
| Materials | Reinforced paper, press studs, cotton webbing, brass coated metal adjusters and loops, batting, foam, cotton fabric |
| Weight | 910g |
| Care Instructions | Unlike fabric, paper is smooth and dirt does not naturally cling to it., If your product does get some marks on it that you do not like you can gently try to an eraser. Be careful of rubbing too hard as this may remove some parts of the Nano protective coating., OIL: If you get an oily mark on the paper that the Nano was unable to resist, try putting some bi-carb or baby powder on the mark overnight. The powder will “absorb” the mark and make it disappear., WATER: If you find yourself dashing between buildings and using your WREN product as an umbrella (which we do not recommend), wipe the excess water off it as quickly as possible., The Nano layer is protective but does not make the product waterproof. We also discourage scuba diving with Wren products., STUBBORN MARKS: If a mark refuses to budge, we suggest grabbing any permanent marker and making a feature of it. Add eyes, doodle over, write a message – anything. Make it your unique mark! |

Quality workmanship and service
Every product is quality checked by 3 people to ensure there are no tears in the paper, unravelling stitches or faulty studs. We have an very high quality standard. If something happens that is a manufacturing fault, please let us know so that we can make it right.
Better with time
The paper has been referred to as wearing like leather. The paper softens, the product becomes "worn-in", and acquires a unique patina. Through everyday use the creases become tonal patterns and are visual marks of your life. We hope that these marks are of adventure, travel and happy days.Read More.
