"Introducing papeRfu (パペフ): Redefining Sustainable Style


papeRfu is a Japanese brand that is revolutionizing the concept of sustainable fashion through its innovative use of materials. Launched in 2023 as a sister brand to the successful poRiff, papeRfu combines vintage clothing and recycled paper to create unique products that exude charm and character.


At papeRfu, we believe in the inherent beauty of paper and its ability to transform with time. By layering and finishing vintage clothing and recycled paper, we create products that evolve in appearance over time. The natural texture of paper, enhanced by wrinkles, adds a touch of authenticity and uniqueness to each piece. As the layers peel off with use, patterns change, offering a truly personalized and evolving aesthetic experience.


Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond materials. We are dedicated to creating products that are not only visually appealing but also durable and long-lasting. Through ongoing material research, we strive to surpass the durability of traditional paper, ensuring that our products stand the test of time.


Furthermore, papeRfu takes pride in its inclusive production process. All our products are meticulously handcrafted in Osaka, Japan, at a sheltered workshop employing individuals with disabilities. We believe in fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment, where everyone can contribute their skills and talents to create exceptional pieces.


Our initial collection features a range of products, including pouches and pen cases, all designed with a glossy matte texture. With a unisex appeal, these items can be enjoyed by anyone seeking sustainable and stylish accessories that make a positive impact.


papeRfu invites you to embrace a new era of sustainable style, where creativity, durability, and inclusivity converge. Join us in celebrating the beauty of evolving fashion that respects the environment and empowers individuals with every purchase.


Experience the transformative power of papeRfu."
