In the Curated Shop: Essential Office Supplies

April 6, 2021

While I’ve only ventured back into the “office” office (i.e., not the one at my house) a handful of times over the past year, when I was there I did notice a number of my pencils, ballpoints, and gel pens left unattended during this time had dried up or gone missing. I also realized that the office had by default become the repository for second and third-tier review samples - pens I had picked up for review purposes, in many cases years ago, and don’t actually want to use. It was plainly time for an overhaul and an upgrade.

Since office pens and pencils do tend to walk off my desk or get borrowed by co-workers, I don’t invest a lot in the pens I keep there. At the same time, I need something reliable that’s pleasant to work with. As I expand The Curated Shop, one category I plan to build out is “Essential Office Supplies,” a selection of high quality, yet relatively inexpensive, pens and pencils that you don’t have to overly fret about taking to or leaving at the office. Currently, the selection ranges from disposable Caran d’Ache Eco click pens (one version of which is made from reclaimed wood shavings from the pencil-making process), to woodcase pencils, to relatively inexpensive refillable ballpoints and mechanical pencils such as the Caran d’Ache Infinite 888 series.

You can check out these and many more quality Caran d’Ache products in the T.G.S. Curated Shop. The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of Caran d’Ache and all other brands sold. Many thanks for your continued support!
