Retail Bags & Boutique Merchandising
In-store customer touchpoints crafted with 100% paper components. We engineer twisted paper handle totes, heavy hangtags, and acid-free wrapping tissue that eliminate plastic cord handles, eyelets, and synthetic ribbons.
Twisted-Handle Natural Kraft Shopper
Crafted from long-fiber Scandinavian kraft paper for exceptional tear resistance, even when loaded with heavy footwear or lifestyle ceramics. Unlike conventional boutique bags that use polyester or cotton rope cords requiring manual sorting, our handles are wound from 100% virgin paper yarn and bonded with plant-starch glue. The entire bag goes straight into curbside paper recycling.

Why Plastic Handles and Eyelets Sabotage Retail Recycling
When luxury paper bags incorporate polyester grosgrain ribbons, polypropylene cords, or brass eyelets, the recipient must manually cut apart these elements before placing the bag in domestic paper bins. In practice, less than 6% of consumers perform this step; the mixed material bag is discarded as non-recyclable residual waste.
Tempo Nest Studio creates paper bags where the paper sheet, handle yarn, reinforcement patch, and adhesive matrix are all 100% cellulose and vegetable starch. The entire object can be thrown into any household paper recycling bin without hesitation.
