Located in the Marketplace Co-Op, Lovepop will offer its intricate 3D paper sculpture greeting cards.
Lovepop founders Wombi Rose and John Wise became best friends at Webb Institute training to become naval architects. After school, the duo traveled to Vietnam where they discovered incredible hand-crafted paper cards.
