Sara's Paper

I'm Sara Bettinati, i live near Verona and I'm the founder of Sara's Paper, my own personal handmade project born after several years spent working as a fashion/knitwear designer in some companies.

I use to upcycle old paper taken from old '40-'50 magazines, maps, comic strip, botanical books... and create unique accessories that can be used in everyday life as wallets, coin purses, clutches, tablet cases, bags... I invented a specific method to give waterproofness and strength to the pages I use so they become a real "fabric".

I'm a dreamer, I use to see beyond what people consider normal and rational. I love meteorology and astronomy so I always have my mind on the clouds.

I usually upcycle several other fabric to transform them in something that can be used in everyday life. I think that the first aim of a design object is to be useful.
