Paperblanks Les Papillons/Les Oiseaux Washi Tape – Pack of 2

Add a flourish of colour and artistry to journal spreads, cards and gift wrap with this Les Papillons/Les Oiseaux washi tape set from Paperblanks.

Using authentic Japanese washi tape paper, metallic foiling, and a touch of varnish for protection, our Les Papillons/Les Oiseaux washi tape set will bring a pop of colour to your bullet journal spread. This double-pack is inspired by two 19th-century book cover designs by French illustrator Hector Giacomelli.

The Story Behind the Design

A French watercolourist, engraver and illustrator, Hector Giacomelli (1822–1904) was highly sought after for his ornamental additions to written works. He contributed paintings and drawings to Gustave Doré’s Vulgate Bible (1866) and publications such as Le Monde illustré, Le Magasin pittoresque, and L’Illustration, in addition to private commissions for wealthy bibliophiles.

We have kept to his original colour palette to honour the uniquely captivating charm that only Giacomelli could create.
