Collection: Paper-cut Designs

A new Spring collection from Gary Millar inspired by the art of paper cutting (jiǎnzhǐ 剪纸).  An artform that may date back to the second century CE, since paper was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. Usually, the artworks are made of red paper, as red is associated with festivities and happiness in Chinese culture, but other colours were also used. Normally paper-cutting artwork is used on festivals like Spring Festival, weddings and childbirth. Papercuts always symbolize luck and happiness and would therefore make ideal birthday presents.
