Where it's made
Sixty makers, three streets, one shelf.
We buy small and we buy directly. Here are three of the people whose work you'll find in the shop this season.
Bookbinding · Old Quarter
Ayla Rahman
Stitches every notebook by hand in a first-floor studio above the shop. Linen covers, cream paper, twelve a day at most.
Letterpress · Mill Lane
Idris Kamal
Runs a 1954 platen press. Every card is printed, cut and counted by him, which is why they arrive slightly imperfect.
Woodwork · Riverside
Tomas Vela
Turns offcuts from a local joinery into desk trays and rulers. Oiled by hand, never lacquered.
Personalisation
Put their initials on it.
Choose blind debossing or gold foil on any notebook, pencil case or card set at checkout. Done in-house, ready in 48 hours.
Blind deboss
Pressed into the cover, no colour. $4.
Gold foil
Warm metallic initials. $8.
Handwritten note
Free with every gift order.
Word of mouth
I ordered a box for my sister at 9pm and it arrived wrapped better than anything I could have managed.
The fountain pen came with the maker's name on a card. That detail is why I keep coming back.
Monogrammed twelve notebooks for our team in three days. Nobody else would even quote it.
