Alexander Rodchenko, photo from Animaux à mimer, 1926
When I was a child, I spent countless magical hours making worlds out of paper...
paper dolls, playing cards, collage paper, postcards, stickers, I loved them all!
Even today, I am still very attracted to beautiful paper toys.
In this collection you'll find a few great vintage zoos
and some irresistible new entries.
