Great brands for the stationery lovers out there…

I love stationery since childhood. For me, stationery was one of the biggest and coolest things about school. Thanks to my generous parents, every new year I could buy new stationery for school and choose whatever I want. I had the most desirable items and even had my pencil case stolen by other student once 👀

Even though we are in the digital age, nothing replaces the power of the analogical way of life. I can’t get enough of fancy stationery, colourful pens and amazing notebooks.

If you agree with this statement…you are a stationery lover, too.

In this post, I’ve put together a list of 10 amazing shops where you can find the most interesting stationery for all needs. Check below:

1. Present & Correct

Present & Correct was founded by Neal Whittington, a graduate of Leeds Art College who launched the store online in 2008 and today has a physical shop in London, EC1R.

2. Milligram

Milligram is an Australian online store that sells the “world’s best design stationery, office and lifestyle accessories”. Brands include Moleskine, Delfonics, Lamy and Rhodia.

3. Counter-Print

The brainchild of Céline Leterme and Jon Dowling, Counter-Print started life nearly a decade ago as a seller of vintage design books. Today, it’s extended its products to include new books, stationery and homeware. This is an essential bookmark for designers.

4. The Journal Shop

The Journal Shop claims that you “will not find a better selection of designer stationery products anywhere else”. Their passion for beautiful paper, pens and desk accessories is clear from the carefully curated selection of products. Particularly appealing is the range of washi tape and Kawaii stationery — if that’s your kind of thing.

7. CW Pencil

CW Pencil was founded online in November 2014 by Caroline Weaver, an amateur pencil collector and lifelong pencil lover. Today, the brand sells everything a pencil enthusiast might want and need. “Whatever you may use them for, we want to make sure that you can have any pencil your heart, hand, or collection desires,” says Caroline.

9. Nook

Nook launched in Stoke Newington, London in April 2012 by friends Gemma, Jack and Kate. With a number of years’ experience in retail behind them, they combined their shared passion for design and interiors to curate the shop that they would like to shop in. Nook brings together a selection of items from across the UK, Europe and beyond, and specialises in items (such as stationery) which are well designed and built to last, but that “don’t always take themselves too seriously”.

10. Cass Art

Cass Art stocks art supplies from some of the world’s leading brands like Winsor & Newton, Faber-Castell and Daler Rowney, so this is a decent online store to source everything from pencils, pens and inks to erasers, rulers and all kinds of surfaces.
