FreshCut Paper was created by designer Peter Hewitt in 2020. Peter has developed products for Disney, Revlon, Crate & Barrel and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) before launching Tea Forte and building a successful business and brand sold in over 35 countries.The vision for FreshCut Paper originated from the fact that nearly 80% of cut flowers sold in the US are imported, traveling thousands of miles. To be kept fresh, the flowers need to move fast and be kept cool. That means airfreight and refrigeration - both huge contributors to climate change. FreshCut Paper bouquets have a carbon footprint of 1/300 of a traditional bouquet and have no pesticide or herbicide residue. Our life-sized pop-up floral bouquets consist of whimsical and breathtaking blooms that can be mailed anywhere and bring messages of love and joy.At FreshCut Paper, we are constantly innovating and developing new categories. We are driven by the desire to push the envelope on making the best product possible and bringing real value to the world.
