Our Story

Do you know the story of the golden Czech hands from a family business at the foothills of Říp?

The story dates back to 1995...

A lawyer Petr Řehák established a family manufacture to make handmade paper, which he had dreamed about. The company was originally called Mlýn Cardinal but to present it abroad as well as to refer to its country roots the name was changed to Bohemia Paper…

This journey to paper with “a pedigree”, which was once held by the hand of Queen Elizabeth II, was not easy. The demand for quality paper was vanishing and in communication it was being replaced by telephone and the internet.

OUR PRODUCTION

As one of the last manufacturers in Europe to use traditional engraving, we continue to use the specialty handmade papers and engraving process dating from the first Czechoslovak Republic.

It is the craftsmanship and distinctive approach that brings the company success not only at home but also abroad. Customers from Japan through Europe to the United States have fallen in love with their fine stationery.
