Wrapped Kickstarter Campaign

Beginning October 9th, WRAPPED will feature a campaign on Kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com) to launch a new innovative collection of journals, while further expanding the brand through Kickstarter's creative funding platform. The original Venice, California based wrapping paper company aspires to stay true to its local production, and needs to reach a goal quota of 5,000 journals in order to thrive while staying true to the brand's value of authenticity. Founders Ryland Arnoldi & Sam Seidman are inspired by WRAPPED's quick success and have distributed wrapping paper to some of the nation's most renowned retailers; they're excited to capitalize on their potential and evolve WRAPPED into a repertoire of paper goods including journals, postcards, invitations, stationary and more through the Kickstarter campaign. Generally sold at $18.00, the journals will be available on Kickstarter for pre-sale at an exclusive price of $15.00 with a tier of rewards for your pledge and appreciated support. For instance, pledges of $100 will receive a journal designed by renowned artist, Charles Arnoldi, and produced by WRAPPED. Arnoldi states, "these things are incredible and I really wouldn't mind keeping all of them for myself!" These particular journals will each be signed and numbered, starting at 1 for the first contributor.

WRAPPED stems from the idea that wrapping paper can be a work of art, rather than a generic disposable shell. Inspired by the California roots of founders, Ryland Arnoldi and Sam Seidman, WRAPPED's products include wrapping paper, journals, stationary and more, and are designed and manufactured locally in Los Angeles to ensure unparalleled quality. Both founders are strongly inspired to expand their brand to a competitive and international level, and through their partnership with Kickstarter, WRAPPED will be on its way; www.wrappedla.com.
