Flores Paper Handmade in Los Angeles, California, from deadstock paper, Flores Paper is the convergence of Giovanna Flores' nostalgic upbringing in print and her budding independent fashion label. Digging through paper scraps, scouring paper warehouses, and walking home carrying folders full of sample papers and stickers—most of Giovanna Flores' childhood memories involved the family paper business. Established in 1983 by her father, uncle, and aunt, paper was the first material Giovanna found an interest in. After years of building her independent fashion label and namesake brand, it was only natural that she would return to paper as a means of expression. Developed in collaboration with her sister and father, and created with the same machines Giovanna grew up with, all of Flores Paper's spiral pads are printed on deadstock paper using offset lithography.

The ideal environment for paper-based items is a stable climate with minimal fluctuations in temperature and humidity. As a general rule, we recommend storing your books and paper products where you reside in your home—think living room or bedroom, not the attic or basement. To avoid fading and discoloration, keep your books and stationery out of direct sunlight and dust regularly with a soft microfiber cloth or duster. Always handle paper products with clean, dry hands to avoid staining from lotions and oils. While upright storage is generally best for books and zines, oversized, heavy, or delicate items should lie flat. Use bookends to prevent books from leaning when stored vertically.
