Those of you who have been asking about a Clairefontaine restock are in luck, because nearly all of it arrived this week! We now have all of the Clairefontaine Seyes/French-Ruled paper in most notebook formats, as well as standard lined and grid versions. Triomphe paper has returned just in time for InCoWriMo next month, along with A4 and A5 versions of most G. Lalo paper and envelopes.
In addition to paper, we continue to build out our pencil selection! Musgrave and Viarco pencils arrived this week, including many new formats that we’ve never carried before. Be sure to check these out as most of our pencils are sold both individually and by the dozen, so you can put together your own sampler packs. (The one exception is Blackwing, which can only be sold by the dozen, and we have the new Blue/Pink Pearls, Red/Green Matte, and the Volume 574s in stock as well!)
Please take note that if you’re planning on coming to visit us this weekend, our brick-and mortar location will be closing early on Saturday (at 2pm). We are also open from 1-6pm today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday)
Clairefontaine Triomphe Notepads and Notebooks. The bright white “Triomphe” paper is a favorite of letter writers, and it’s now available in notebooks as well as notepads. (Yes, the notebooks come in an ivory color as well as the classic bright white.)
Clairefontaine 1951 Clothbound and Staplebound Notebooks. The lined 1951 notebooks have a classic vintage-inspired design and come in several bright colors. These have long been a shop favorite and we’re excited to have them back.
Quo Vadis Habana Notebook Journal. One of my favorite notebook journals, which contains bright white dot grid Clairefontaine paper in a colorful assortment of leather-ish covers.
Blackwing Volumes 574 Pencils: The Native American Art Pencil. These pencils were designed in collaboration with Kaw, Osage, Lakota artist Chris Pappan to design a pencil that evokes geometric patterns found throughout many Native American expressions of culture.
Blackwing “Illegal Pads”. We have multiple rulings of the Blackwing legal pads back in stock, in both A4 and A5 sizes.
Rhodia Composition Notebooks. Rhodia’s upgraded take on the classic composition notebook is back in stock, in both orange and black covers.
Viarco Pencils. Viarco is back in stock in all of the various vintage designs! And, yes, we also have the metal spring-caps. These are now sold loose in a large box of 100s, so I’m going to divide them up into packs of 5 for sale.
Musgrave Pencils. We’re excited to add one of our local brands, Musgrave Pencil Co., to our curated selection of wood and mechanical pencils, with everything from the uncapped wood “Bugle” to the softer 4B Songwriter pencil.
Lochby Field Journal Mini. A smaller version of the A5 Lochby Field Journal, designed to hold four of Lochby’s Pocket Notebooks using the same cord-based system. Available in brown, charcoal, and navy blue. As noted, this will not only fit the Lochby 3.5” x 5.5” pocket notebooks, but also most Field Notes and similarly sized pocket notebooks.
Notsu Centre Rise Notecard Stand with Cards. I’ve been loving these fountain pen friendly Notsu index cards, which feature a “To Do” layout that allows you to track daily tasks, make lists and whatever else you like to check off as you go. The reverse has space for notes, and the 3x5 cards are prescored so they’re easily foldable. Standard dot grid index cards are also available.
