High Altitude: Karearea Journal

Locally created, sustainable stationery

Made with premium, environmentally sustainable paper stocks, Mark Makers are consciously constructed using old-school craftsmanship.

The 'High Altitude' edition is a new series celebrating NZ endemic birds that grace the mountain landscapes of Aotearea.

Kārearea (the New Zealand falcon) are incredibly fearless hunters and supreme masters of aerial acrobatics. The artwork is inspired by a close encounter with one of these impressive birds while crossing through the South Island's Kakanui Range.
