What is a seed paper tag?

Each House of Parvi hang tag is a small piece of seed-embedded paper. The paper is sourced locally and printed at a small tag studio using soy-based ink. Seeds are embedded into the paper itself during manufacture. When you are done reading the tag, it does not need a bin.

What seeds are in the tag?

It varies by batch — basil or sunflower, depending on the paper we have sourced. Whatever is inside will grow if you give it soil.

Tear the tag into pieces — the paper is meant to come apart. Press the pieces into soil — a pot indoors or a patch outdoors, either works. Keep it moist. Something green will come up.

Can I grow it indoors?

Yes. A small pot on a windowsill is enough. Indoors, outdoors — the tag does not mind, as long as it is not thrown away.

Is it certified compostable or organic?

No. The paper is sourced locally, the ink is soy-based, and the cord is hemp. These are the honest materials of the tag; the trust here is in the materials themselves, not in a certificate.

What if I do not want to plant it?

Please do not put it in the bin, and please do not leave it on concrete or gravel where nothing can grow. Any patch of soil will do — a public planter, a friend's garden, anywhere but a surface where a seed cannot take.

PLANT, DON'T BIN

Seed Paper Tag

Anywhere But the Bin

Every House of Parvi piece arrives with a small tag. The paper holds seeds inside it. When you are done reading the tag, give it soil — a pot on a windowsill, a patch of garden, anywhere that isn't a bin or concrete. The ink is soy-based.

The Gesture

Anywhere But the Bin

A tag with seeds inside. Tear it. Bury it. Watch what happens.

Small, seed-embedded, tied with hemp.

The tag is small. Inside its paper are seeds. When you are done with the garment, tear the tag into pieces — the paper is meant to come apart. Press the pieces into soil, indoors or outdoors, either is home. Keep the soil moist. In time, something green will find its way up.

What It Is

A Small Object, Made by Hand

The tag is made from locally sourced seed-embedded paper, printed at a small tag studio using soy-based ink. Seeds — basil or sunflower, depending on the batch — are pressed into the paper during manufacture. The hemp cord is tied by hand.

Why It Matters

The Last Object You Throw Away

Most hang tags go in the bin within minutes of purchase. Here the tag is a seed. The ask is not complicated: soil, somewhere. A public planter, a friend's pot, a garden patch. What matters is not the method — it is the decision not to make this one small object into landfill. The tag is not a gesture. It is an invitation to not discard something that still has a life in it.

How It Works

Not an Instruction, an Invitation

Untie the hemp cord. Let the tag rest in water until the paper feels soft and pliable. Press it into soil — a pot on your sill or a patch in the garden, indoors or out, either is home. Keep it moist. In time, something green will find its way up. The point is not to follow a method perfectly. The point is soil, not the bin.

“Anywhere but the bin. Anywhere but concrete. Any patch of soil is enough.”
