Some stories don’t end.
They turn a page.
After 25 years of building, importing, teaching, creating and quietly setting the standard for specialty paper in South Africa, Warin and Robert Nezar are passing the torch.
What started with grit and vision became a legacy.
Warin Nezar didn’t just sell paper — she elevated it. From breathtaking handmade flowers that became a Hobby-X tradition, to the thousands of wedding invitations and small businesses sparked by Paper World imports… this business has been the silent guest at life’s most meaningful moments.
This wasn’t just commerce.
It was craft.
It was family.
It was resilience.

Today, that legacy moves forward with Karen and Deon Van Huizen — after 25 years in the newspaper industry, they’re exchanging one kind of paper for another.
From telling stories…
to shaping them in texture and colour.
Welcome to the Paper World family. You’re not just stepping into a business — you’re inheriting a heartbeat.
To Warin and Robert — thank you for the watermark you’ve left on South African craft. It won’t fade.
And on a personal note — thank you for allowing me to be part of this family. In less than a year, you’ve grown in me a love for paper I didn’t even know was possible. That is a gift I’ll always carry.
The flowers will keep blooming.
