<>Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND IMPRESSION ORIGINALE?
Oh well, excellent question. IMPRESSION ORIGINALE was established in 2016 by Mathilde and Claire, originally French but true believers of a border-less world. We have founded IMPRESSION ORIGINALE on strong social and environmental values. We believe we can do good business, where each of us have a part to play. Check our ABOUT and MEET OUR TEAM pages to learn more. WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!
WHERE ARE THE PRODUCTS MADE?
Our products are made in France, manufactured, printed and shipped from a small town in the Loire Valley called Angers. We rely on an independent, family-run business in South France to supply our ribbons — and we’re mighty proud to be able to only count suppliers who share our values for environmental concerns that are FSC, PEFC labelled and ISO certified.. To learn more about our products, you can review our ABOUT page.
HOW BIG IS THE MAXI SHEET OF GIFT WRAP?
All our maxi sheets of gift-wrap are standard: they are all 60x86cm, which is larger than the usual standard size 50x70cm. The maxi sheets allow you to wrap a very large square box L40cm x W30cm x H10cm.
Our maxi sheets of gift-wrap are made of a high quality weight, at 115/g grammage.
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE RIBBONS?
The ribbons all come in a standard size of 2.5m, which is perfect for a large bow on a very large parcel. We tried it for you!
MY RIBBON ARRIVED SLIGHTLY CREASED – WHAT CAN I DO?
Each and every order is hand picked with the greatest care and wrapped extremely well. However it is possible due to the nature of our products, that the ribbons may get slightly creased. If this happens, we recommend ironing them under a wet cloth for a perfect result.
HOW IS THE PARCEL PREPARED?
Each parcel is prepared with the greatest care, by hand. The maxi sheets of gift-wrap are delicately rolled, protected in a silk paper and sealed with our Impression Originale stickers. Each ribbon is neatly folded and pinned with a tag, then put in the middle of the rolled wrapping papers. The parcel is then posted within a gorgeous water-resistant grey shipping tube.
WHAT IS IN MY PARCEL?
