Even though it’s exciting to expand the shop, I could use a bit of a breather! As of right now, I’ve finished updating our new arrivals in the Inks & Refills shop, a slew of new Washi Tapes and Enamel Pins, and some excellent desk accessories, including new arrivals from Midori. Shown here are the Midori Kurashiki Canvas pen/pencil cases, which are import items from Japan that recently arrived. These are beautiful, and the neutral colored canvas will age differently depending on how you use it. We’ve also added more Midori desk tools such as scissors and more XS Stationery Kits, to help you create the perfect desk space for at home or on the go!
The Gentleman Stationer is supported entirely by purchases from the T.G.S. Curated Shop, and pledges via the T.G.S. Patreon Program, and is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.
Midori Kurashiki Canvas Pen Cases. We had these in the shop last year for a VERY brief period before they went out of stock. This waterproof canvas will soften and patina with age, as will the leather zipper pull. These are available in flat and gusseted formats, the latter of which will stand up on their own to form a pencil case. (Pictured above.)
TWSBI ECO-T Saffron Fountain Pens. In addition to the recently released (and absolutely gorgeous) ECO-T fountain pen, we now have nearly all of the standard ECO and Diamond 580 fountain pens available for purchase.
Midori MD Cotton Writing Pads. We just received a huge restock of Midori MD Cotton Writing Pads, along with fresh stock of MD Cotton Notebooks.
Midori Soft Color A5 Notebooks. As I wrote last week, I’ve been on a personal quest to locate some fountain pen friendly colored paper to use for written correspondence. During that search, I came across these Midori A5 “Soft Color” notebooks in grey, blue, green, and purple.
G. Lalo Laid Writing Paper. This fine writing correspondence paper is available in white, ivory, and pale blue tablets.
New Washi Tapes and Pins from iLootPaperie. Some of our favorite products currently in the shop are our array of washi tapes and enamel pins from the team at iLootPaperie (particularly the snail mail-themed pins and buttons).
Midori Portable Multi-Scissors. These portable multi-function scissors have a curved blade to cut paper, a serrated edge to help open boxes, and a notch to cut wire. If you always find yourself looking for a convenient cutting instrument, consider these. I personally carry a set in my car.
Midori XS Stationery Kit. I’ve taken to carrying one of these compact clamshell stationery kits in my briefcase, which basically allows you to bring a full desk setup with you wherever you go, whether that’s working remotely or otherwise.
Hightide Sandglass in Large “Slim” Format. Hightide has released the 15-minute version of their classic hourglass in a “Slim” format, which has a slightly taller, more modern silhouette than the version we’ve been carrying. It will be interesting to see whether this is a permanent change
J. Herbin “Shogun” Ink. We recently started carrying the J. Herbin writing inks, and so far have added a single “shimmer” ink to our offerings. Shogun is a grey/brown/black with subtle gold and red shimmer - reminiscent of Samurai armor - and it looks great!
