They’re not just lovely to look at, they’re nostalgic, elegant, cute and fun with a number of uses. They honestly feel like a warm hug, a cocktail on a summer’s day and your favourite memory from a holiday.
The History
At Zetta, we love to share the story of our products with you and the Vintage Prints and Decorative papers have quite an interesting one. Through her work outside of Zetta Florence, our founder and matriarch Georgina Knightley (GK, as we like to call her) has access to delightful original imagery you see grace the Zetta Florence walls. Since 1989 this imagery has been gathered, curated and readapted, by our incredible graphics team to bring the vintage artwork back to life. Then it’s printed by our suppliers, before being sent to the warehouse and sorted by Steve, our trusty warehouse manager. The last step of this journey is delivery, which is usually carried out by none other than the store’s right-hand man, Phillip Knightley (Yes, we also call him PK).
