Back when I decided to open a small retail shop alongside the T.G.S. informational content, a primary goal was to pull together seemingly disparate product categories that, at second glance, have more in common than one might think. Reading Accessories were a logical starting point, but plenty more opportunities have presented themselves, especially when Taiwan-based HMM popped up at NY Now this year. A company that focuses entirely on stationery and coffee? Now you have my attention.

HMM Exacto Scissors — HMM’s compact (and sharp!) Exacto scissors

We carry several HMM products, including their dodecagonal ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils, extremely sharp "Exacto" compact scissors, and, yes, a small selection of their coffee accessories. Enjoy your stationery while staying caffeinated! (If coffee and tea aren’t your thing, these also make gorgeous ceramic pen cups.)

The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.

HMM “Mugr” Ceramic Mugs. Combining Japanese ceramic with wood, Mugr comes in two finishes: Cloud (light grey with a lot of tone variation), and Charc. The latter imitates the look and feel of cast iron. There is also an option to add a matching dripper in the Charc finish.
Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter. Say that again? You’ve probably seen our announcement that we’re now retailers of this versatile German notebook system, which isn’t so much a system as a portfolio capable of holding standard-size notebooks that you may or may not already be using. Check out yesterday’s YouTube video showing how I’ve set up my own Roterfadens!
TWSBI ECO Indigo Blue + Bronze Fountain Pen. TWSBI absolutely killed it with their latest ECO release. The dark indigo is a perfect complement to the bronze-toned trim.
TWSBI ECO-T Jade + Rose Gold Fountain Pen. We received additional stock of last year’s late holiday release, which was a jade ECO-T paired with rose gold trim. I love seeing TWSBI expand their rose gold models!
Nakabayashi Notebooks and Paper. As we’ve brought Roterfaden on board, we’ve also received inquiries about compatible notebooks/refills. The A5 Nakabayashi thread-bound notebooks in any of the paper sizes are one great option.
Laconic Tokyo Notebooks. For those in search of a more compact carry, Laconic’s slim A5 notebooks come in a range of different layouts, from Calendar options to To Do lists to even more specialized frameworks such as life tracking and Gantt charts. (The popular Laconic notebook covers are also back in stock.)
Midori MD Light Notebooks. These slim notebooks feature Midori MD Paper in a more compact layout - perfect for Roterfaden, Lochby, and other clip and cord-based systems. Of course you can also use the standard MD Paper Notebooks, but for those who like separate notebooks for different subject matters, these are excellent.
Midori MD Light 70th Anniversary Set. We still have remaining stock of these special notebooks that Midori released for their benchmark anniversary this year, which feature matching grid ruling and thread bindings in different colors.
Clairefontaine Triomphe Notebooks. Triomphe writing pads have long been a favorite among fountain pen enthusiasts, particularly those who enjoy writing letters. The excellent paper is now available in both white and ivory, in an A5 notebook format.
Stalogy Notebooks. Lightweight paper that still allows ink to dry quickly makes these a favorite for many office workers and lefties. Stalogy notebooks are set up so that you can use them as either an undated planner or a standard notebook.
