Deals & Drops: Return of Clairefontaine, Kokuyo Sketch Books, Sharpeners, Pins & More!

October 7, 2021

New stock is literally pouring into the shop right now in advance of the holiday shopping season, which is set to launch towards the end of the month. I’m getting stuff listed as fast as I can, including a huge swath of new goods featured here. In addition to a wide range of fountain pen friendly paper, we are fully stocked on Traveler’s Notebooks, refills, and accessories, Midori MD Notebooks and Covers, and Caran d’Ache pens and pencils. Keep checking back, thanks for “shopping small,” and enjoy the coming weekend!

The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brands we carry. By shopping with us, you are supporting original content, pen reviews, pen show events, etc. from The Gentleman Stationer. If you would like to support us even further, please consider checking out the T.G.S. Patreon Program, which offers access to online meetups, exclusive discounts and pre-orders, and more!

  1. Clairefontaine French-Ruled (Seyes-Ruled) Notebooks. This classic Clairefontaine notebook paper is back in stock! We currently have staplebound, clothbound, and spiral notebooks available.

  2. Kokuyo PERPANEP “Zara Zara” A5 Notebooks. Textured, fountain pen-friendly paper with the funny name, available in five different rulings. (The name is an anagram of “pen” and “paper”.) For writing samples and more, check out my review.

  3. Traveler’s Notebook “B Sides and Rarities” Refill Collection. We’re fully restocked on these popular refills, all of which feature new and unusual papers, ranging from super-lightweight paper, to waterproof “washable” paper, to notepads (“Letter Pads”) made from Midori MD Cotton Paper. Don’t forget to check out the rest of our Traveler’s Company offerings.

  4. Kokuyo Hardcover Pocket Notebooks. We stock a full range of Kokuyo’s “Sketch Book” (grid ruling) and “Trip Book” (dot grid ruling) hardcover notebooks, including some recently arrived colors including white, black, and anise green!

  5. Midori MD Journal Stickers. These Midori MD Journal Stickers allow you to add a dated planner/calendar to any journal. Stickers include a calendar running from December 2021 through January 2023, so you will be set for the coming 14 months.

  6. M+R Brass Pencil Sharpeners. If there’s one thing every pencil enthusiast needs in their daily carry, it’s a high-quality German handheld sharpener. We stock the range of M+R products, including the Castor and Pollux long-point sharpeners, the iconic Brass Bullet, and the Brass Lead Pointer. Replacement blades are also available.

  7. Caran d’Ache Pencils and Fixpencils. We fully intend to continue carrying a range of woodcase pencils, both individually and by the dozen, including the Caran d’Ache Swiss Woods that have developed such a devoted following over the years.

  8. Caran d’Ache 849 Nespresso “Arpeggio” Special Edition Ballpoint. I recently received some additional pens from last year’s ballpoint collaboration with Caran d’Ache. The Fixpencil collaboration remains on backorder but stay tuned.

  9. Field Notes “Trailhead” and “Fifty” Editions. Many consider the past two Field Notes releases to be two of the best in a while, with more minimal covers that get back to the basics of what made Field Notes so popular in the first place. We have both editions in stock.

  10. New Washi Tapes from iLootPaperie. This company makes some of the most irreverent and fun washi tapes on the market, with a focus on snail mail themes since many people absolutely love using Washi Tape to adorn their written correspondence, in addition to typical everyday masking tape uses such as scrapbooking, planning, and merely adding character to your office!

Kokuyo’s new “PERPANEP” Notebooks handle ink super well, at least in the textured “Zara Zara” version.

Kokuyo Trip Book and Sketch Books: Possibly an all-time favorite?
