Minimal and Modern from Metaphys

11/11/2017

0 Comments

 
We added several new products from one of our favorite stationery lines. The Corda Desk Pen is the same high-quality as the Metaphys Locus series, but in a very unique form that is meant to be displayed on your desk top. The standard Locus Ballpoint Pen was recently discontinued by Metaphys, but we still have the Locus 3Way Multi-pen. We restocked those, and the latest version comes bundled with a free Viss Eraser, which happens to be one of our other new products. We also added the Rassen Paper Knife, a high-end letter knife unlike any you have ever seen. Finally, we topped up and restocked a couple of other Metaphys favorites.

Elegant Country Cues in Blackwing Volume 1

9/30/2017

0 Comments

 
The latest Blackwing Volume is in, and Palomino has once again created something special. This limited edition pencil is only the second one to include Blackwing's not too hard and not too soft, balanced graphite, and it's the first with a round body. We're a big fan of the unique shade of blue chosen for the eraser, and the gray wash coat that lets the wood grain show through is a stand-out feature. As always, these are a limited run, and once they sell out, they're gone forever.

Introducing Inkaren

4/22/2017

We’re especially proud to announce the addition of select products from boutique Japanese stationer Inkaren. When we first contacted Inkaren, we were told they had suspended international sales. We were so enamored with their products that we offered to freely advise them on how to best work with international retailers, and we’re happy to be offering their products as the first such retailer. We are carrying five different products in multiple variants. We’re sure that these simple yet thoughtful designs will help to elevate your creative efforts. We also love Inkaren’s spirit of collaboration, as their line was made possible through the partnership of six different companies.

More Amazing Products from CDT

4/9/2017

The latest CDT order has arrived from Tokyo bringing with it four new stellar products. The CDT Wooden Tape Dispenser is sure to impress, and with it we’re including a roll of CDT Sanada Tape (also available separately), which looks excellent over craft paper. We’re also adding the CDT Business Card Case, coming in the same lovely cinnamon leather as the CDT Leather Pen Case. Finally, to coincide with national writing month, we’re releasing the CDT Jabara Accordion Letter Set, a uniquely Japanese product. 

We’ve also brought back the much-loved CDT Graffiti Pad. We previously stopped carrying it after CDT discontinued it, although later we found out they still had a decent supply in dark green. The product will eventually become permanently unavailable, but we’ll be stocking it as long as we can. We’ve also topped up our CDT notebooks and pencils.

The Whimsical Illustrations of Kata Kata

2/11/2017

I can’t remember the first time we saw Kata Kata’s endearing designs. It may have been on their origami paper at Nagasawa in Kobe, Japan. We immediately fell in love with the work of Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai. Their illustrations largely focus on images of natural scenery and animals. Some of them have an old-world European ascetic, and many of their animals designs are reminiscent of classical, Japanese motifs but with their own unique twist. Most intriguing is their tenugui, or traditional hand cloths, which are stenciled and dyed by hand using traditional techniques. 

Picture
We’re very excited to be the second retailer of Kata Kata products in the United States, and the first and only to currently be carrying their A4 Postcards series. Their illustrations can be found on many more products (such as the aforementioned origami paper), so let us know if you love them, and hopefully we can expand our offerings in the future. Please click on the images below individually or browse the entire line of Kata Kata.

Classic Stripes and a Rainbow of Colors

7/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Every new product from Palomino is exciting. So it's doubly exciting when they drop two at the same time. The first is their quarterly, limited edition Blackwing Volume dubbed "No. 56" in honor of the great Joe DiMaggio. The design of this pencil takes cues from his New York Yankees uniform, and it may be the sharpest Blackwing to date (pun intended).
Palomino has also released the first colored pencil set that they deemed worthy of the Blackwing name. Eight vibrant colors, using premium Japanese wax color cores, arrive in a Blackwing box with magnetic closure, making these a great tool for anyone, from the casual coloring book enthusiast to more serious artists. Pick some up today. ​​

New Arrivals & Restock

4/19/2016

The boat from Japan has arrived, bringing us both new products and a resupply of products that were running low or sold out. We are adding two new products from Craft Design Technology, the CDT A5 Notepad and the CDT Brush Pen (plus refill), which happens to be our first brush pen. We have added the very iconic Mitsubishi No. 772 Red-Blue Pencils, the Dog Ear Notebook by Hum, and the Legno Pen and Acro Drive Pen from Pilot. Finally, we are adding the Nähe General Purpose Case. Nähe is yet another great brand by Hightide (creators of the Penco, PH, and Hum brands). The Nähe line is mostly storage and organizational products drawing inspiration from German stationers. We specifically chose this Nähe case to accommodate full-sized colored pencils, like our Mitsubishi No. 850s that are too long for many other pen and pencil cases. It'll hold about a dozen pencils, so a whole box of Mitsubishi No. 101s, or a nice array of individual pens, pencils, or erasers.
