You may have noticed a flurry of activity around the T.G.S. Curated Shop. That’s because after a brief pause in mid-2022 to evaluate our chosen product lines and tweak our focus, we decided to move forward with expanding several of the brands we carry and bringing additional lines on board. This coming weekend, we’ll be attending the National Stationery Show in New York City, one of the largest stationery trade shows in the world! I’ll keep you updated on anything fun we fine, so keep an eye on Instagram!
This Week’s New Arrivals
Many of you have been asking when favorite core brands such as Write Notepads, Clairefontaine, and Rhodia would restock, and I’m happy to announce that nearly everything is currently in-stock and ready to go! As usual, I’ll hit the highlights below as I do every Thursday morning, but be sure to check out the New Arrivals for both Pens/Pencils and Paper, as well as our constantly updated InCoWriMo-themed page, with letter writing supplies selected for International Correspondence Writing Month!
The Nahvalur Pen of the Year is a collaboration with Starry Night Resins, who created the material for my Hinze Pens “Five O’Clock Somewhere” fountain pen.
New Pens, Pencils, and Inks!
Nahvalur “Year of the Rabbit” Limited Edition Nautilus Fountain Pen. Nahvalur (formerly Narwhal) recently released a 14k gold nib, and it’s featured in their latest limited edition “Year of the Rabbit” release which pairs the Nautilus shape with a white pearlescent acrylic from Starry Night Resins. These are extremely limited and we only have a couple in stock as the initial batch is going fast.
Nahvalur Nautilus Corydoras Bronze and Cephalopod Black. The original Nahvalur Nautilus designs are still some of the sharpest, pairing black ebonite with antiqued bronze or black trim.
Nahvalur Explorer Fountain Pen Inks. Nahvalur has chosen four initial ink colors to match their “Original Plus” Vacuum-Filler fountain pen (also back in stock in all colors).
Anderillium Inks (including 8-Bottle Sample Sets). The most popular colors of Anderillium Inks are now available, including “Colossal Squid Dark,” “Green Kingfisher Green,” and “American Goldfinch Yellow”. We’ve also brought back the 8 bottle sample sets, where you can get eight .5ml bottles containing each color from both the Avian and Cephalopod series.
Newly Arrived Paper and Notebooks, Including Lalo, Midori, and Clairefontaine Letter Writing Paper!
G. Lalo Correspondence Pads and Envelopes. This high-quality French-made laid paper comes in three different colors: light blue, white, and ivory. Both writing pads (A5) and matching envelopes are available.
Rhodia Composition Books. A core shop favorite from the early days is back in stock after being distributor-backordered for quite some time. These durable composition books feature a classic cloth binding and Rhodia paper.
Clairefontaine 1951 Clothbound Notebook. Similar to a composition book, these A5 notebooks are slightly smaller than the classic size but feature a vintage-style cover and Clairefontaine’s exceptionally fountain pen friendly paper.
Quo Vadis Habana Notebook Journal. In my opinion, Quo Vadis makes one of the best “faux leather cover + elastic” notebooks out there. These feature white dot-grid Clairefontaine paper, perfect for fountain pens. These are hard to keep in stock because they’re relatively difficult to find and I have a core set of customers who snap them up as soon as they arrive.
Write Notepads Memo Pads. Probably my favorite paper for everyday writing, these letter-sized memo pads are sold in sets of two, and feature either dot grid, lined, or meeting-style layouts.
Write Notepads “Chesapeake” Pocket Notebooks. They’re back! These PUR-bound pocket notebooks are another personal obsession, and we’re glad to have them back in the shop for at least one more round!
The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.
