Today we received shipments from all parts of the globe -  leather acorn keychain charms from Eastern Europe, letterpressed notebooks and postcards from Portugal, Grid-It notepads from Spain, and Princess Tina clothing from Australia…and later this week we’ll be visiting ICFF and the National Stationery Show in New York, which will feature designers from very far away, and as near as San Francisco.

We love finding unique goods for you. We are aware of the emissions caused by the shipping and we are looking into ways to offset this, but we think one way is to bring you beautiful non-disposable goods that you will not grow tired of looking at or using or wearing, goods you want to hold onto and cherish for a very long time; we’ll call this generational for lack of a better term. If we can bring you items that are local, or highly functional, or generational, or recycled or sustainable, we feel we are doing our jobs.
