I

am a huge fan of retro related design. This also extends to gift wrap and paper goods. I tend to favor the 1940’s – 1960’s era. However, when it comes to flamboyant and decorative vintage – art deco comes to mind. It’s exquisite and it’s easy to see why to this day it is still popular. I quite like it. Some even say it’s the style of luxury and modernity spun into one encapsulating aesthetic.

So, when I came across this art deco inspired gift wrap by Paragon Papers, my eyes bugged out like an old fashioned cartoon character in shock. I think I may have drooled a little too. This line of gift wrap is aptly called: Gatsby – for it’s luxurious and textured art deco inspired design. Speaking of palpable material, this dark blue gift wrap is textured with a glossy, raised geometric pattern. So, there is an extra added tactile experience one will appreciate whether they are using this to wrap a present or on the receiving end of it.

Last but not least, I think this dark and rich paper is quite universal and makes for a great gift wrap option for men; espeically when paired with bright mustard silk ribbon. Or, if one would like to add an extra element of femininity using a bright and pink ribbon would serve as a lovely match.

What is certain is that any present wrapped in this design paper will signify that the gift was wrapped with care, flair and panache.
