Since then, it has grown to include cards, enamel pins, calendars, fabric and much more.
Through partnerships with other brands such as Keds and L’Occitane, Rifle’s whimsical designs continue to take on a life of their own, well beyond paper. It’s the perfect spot to find a unique gift for Mother’s Day or for that special graduate. riflepaperco.com
