Handmade Book-Themed Gifts for Literature Lovers

Welcome to The Paper Apple Co, where books and craftsmanship come together to create one-of-a-kind literary gifts. Whether you’re a book lover or searching for a unique gift for a reader, you’ll find something truly special here.

My Story – How The Paper Apple Co Began

I’m Lara, the maker behind The Paper Apple Co. My journey started with a love for creativity, leading me to study Fashion Design and Textiles and work with Vivienne Westwood. But my passion for books and craftsmanship took over, inspiring me to start my own business.

In 2013, from my home in Creaton, Northamptonshire, I began transforming books into beautiful, handcrafted gifts. What started as a personal project has now grown into a small business, shipping worldwide and helping people celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, and special moments with thoughtful, book-inspired keepsakes.
