“Here’s my secret. It is very simple:
– The Little Prince
one can only see well with the heart.
The essential is invisible to the eyes.”
Immerse yourself in the enchanting universe of the Little Prince with our exclusive collaborative collection with the Saint-Exupéry Estate.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was a man intimate with the mysteries of wind, sand, and stars. He was one of the grand adventurers of his time, but he is most famous today for his self-illustrated philosophical story, The Little Prince, which tells of the meeting between a stranded pilot and a prince who lives on an asteroid.
Shown here is a page from Saint-Exupéry’s manuscript for The Little Prince, which has become a classic of children’s literature and is one of the most translated and beloved books in the world. The simple tale relates the story of a child, the little prince, who travels the universe gaining wisdom.
The collaboration between Paperblanks and the Saint-Exupéry Estate was enthusiastically received by both teams, who saw it as an opportunity to showcase the beauty of this classic tale. Our shared love for literature and storytelling has resulted in a natural partnership, based on a desire to celebrate the joy of iconic stories.

“For this timeless classic, we were inspired by the softness and playfulness of the pattern, which we enhanced with our special textures and faux leather frames to give it an extra richness.”
– Alicia Arellano, Graphic Designer
