I still have some interesting Paperchase bits to share with you this week. Attending their AW Press Show last month at Tottenham Court Road also gave me a great excuse to photograph the store. I started in the greetings card department and here are some of the fab designs I saw for sale. 

It is the last day of Paperchase Autumn/Winter 2016 previews and we conclude with two design collections that were shown at the Press Show on snack boxes.

There are also some exclusive card designs and a selection from other publishers such as the bold and fun label Sooshichacha.

It's my last day for looking at Paperchase this week and we start with a look at their Parkano range.
