Handmade by heart, from our haven to yours
At Paper Haven Goods, everything begins with family.
Nestled in the windswept coastal town of Langebaan, where the salt air drifts through open windows and the rhythm of the sea echoes through the days, our home has become a haven of creation. Here, in this quiet corner of the world, a mother and a father (and sometimes kids from Gauteng!) each follow the threads of their lifelong passions—threads woven deep into the fabric of who we are.
Mom bakes with a kind of reverence—honouring traditional recipes passed down, tested, and perfected through hundreds of joyful, flour-dusted hours. Her small-batch treats are made with patience and care, never rushed, never mass-produced. Each bite is a quiet homage to warmth, memory, and comfort.
Dad is the artist and the poet. His hands move with purpose, shaping canvas and carving words into moments. Every painting is a singular creation—an unrepeatable spark of inspiration made tangible. His poetry and books draw from a life richly lived, layered with introspection and wonder.
Paper Haven Goods is more than a store—it’s a glimpse into our lives, a place where creativity and comfort meet. Each item you’ll find here is made by one of us, from our heart to yours. We hope it makes you feel cozy. We hope it makes you feel curious. Mostly, we hope it makes you feel like you just got home.
