CLAIREFONTAINE STATIONERS

Who does not remember this luxurious paper paper on which every student planned so much good intentions at the beginning of the school year?

If the legend is believed, the Honourable General Mong Tian, chasing a wasp from the sting, observed the traitor in making salive and ses, a paste made of vegetable fibres that toughened into the air without disintegrating. Based on this observation, the Chinese developed, two centuries before us, a process of artisanal pulp pulp, mixing mulberry and bamboo fibres. Then the invention of the paper machine in 1798 gave the paper industry a kick. In 1858, Jean-Baptiste Bichelberger established an industrial stationery in Etival.
