Bold, playful and beautifully literary, the Cambridge Imprint Persephone Wrapping Paper in Shocking Pink & Lettuce reimagines a heritage-inspired design with fresh contemporary energy. Originally created in 2014 for Persephone Books — the much-loved independent publisher devoted to rediscovering overlooked twentieth-century women’s writing — the Persephone pattern carries an elegant Bloomsbury-inspired aesthetic rooted in classic British design.
Inspired by Persephone Books’ signature grey covers and hidden patterned endpapers, the design feels rhythmic, decorative and quietly sophisticated. This striking Shocking Pink & Lettuce colourway, introduced for 2026, brings a vibrant modern twist to the timeless print — balancing expressive colour with the refined structure of the original pattern.
Printed in England by Cambridge Imprint on responsibly sourced archival-quality paper, each sheet is produced using vegetable oil-based hand-mixed inks on premium uncoated 90gsm matte paper. The result is a tactile, beautifully hand-printed finish that feels as special to give as it does to receive.
Perfect for luxury gift wrapping, birthdays, book lovers, creative projects and design-led stationery collections, this designer wrapping paper adds personality, colour and thoughtful craftsmanship to every occasion.
