The design
Small envelopes, made ceremonial
A gift envelope is often the first thing a person sees. Chimanlals prints each one by hand on handmade paper, using varied colours, motifs and finishes so a note or money gift arrives feeling considered.
Each piece is handmade
Colours, motifs and small details can vary between batches. The photographs show the character of the range. Current colours and availability are confirmed when you enquire.
A closer look
Details inside and out
Every envelope rewards a closer look. The paper is handmade and the motif is printed by hand. Look closely at the printing and finish, then step back to the whole piece.

The craft
Handmade paper, silk-screen printed
The company profile describes cotton waste as the core handmade-paper ingredient, with fibres and particles used in varied proportions across the wider range. Chimanlals largely uses labour-oriented silk-screen printing for a rich, vibrant result.
Because it is handwork, colours and finishes can vary slightly from one batch to the next.
A note on handmade paper
Because every piece is handmade and handprinted, colours, motifs and exact patterns may vary slightly from the photographs shown. We confirm currently available designs and colours before every order.

Loved on Google
Envelopes are one of the most frequently mentioned product themes in Chimanlals’ Google reviews. (11 review mentions on Google.)
Small little shop that has very ethnic hand made papers, gift packs, letter pads, very creative envelops etc. Amazing creative products. Excellent for any corporate gifts, individual gifts etc. A great place to spend quality time in this store.
This might be my favorite shop in Mumbai. The prices are incredible and craftsmanship is stunning. You almost don't want to use what you buy; it's too beautiful. I also appreciate the kind and knowledgeable workers who make me happy to return.
