Buying stationery

Going into a stationery shop and ‘going crazy’ is a joy steeped both in anticipation and childish creativity. The moment you step into the store, you’re greeted by the scent of fresh paper and ink, and other real and imagined aromas from the ends of erasers to the fruitiness of crayons.

And your pleasure is tangible. Each item on the shelves – from the vibrant array of sketch pens to the neatly stacked notebooks – holds a promise of potential of a happy scrawl.

Choosing stationery is an intimate experience. The weight of a pen, texture of a notebook’s pages, precision of a ruler – these details matter. They’re not just tools but extensions of our thoughts, ideas and taste. When you find the perfect piece, it’s as if it was made just for you.
Moreover, stationery is a gateway to our imagination. A blank notebook can become a journal, a novel, a sketchbook. It invites us to fill its pages with our thoughts, dreams and creativity. Much like life.

Buying stationery is no simple purchase. It’s a celebration of the joy of using things, filling up space, leaving many marks on blank pages.
