We have a bit of everything this week, with the big news being the release of our own special Roterfaden collaboration, the TGS_25, in an A5 slim format. While I expected it to be popular (this is an uncommon Roterfaden size that only periodically appears in special releases), I wasn’t quite prepared for how quickly this one has sold. We do still have some stock remaining, and I have held back a handful for our local customers this weekend. Just a reminder to our Patreon supporters that they have a special pricing offer on this release - please check the Patreon feed for details.
Yesterday we also received a restock of many different Traveler’s Notebook refills and accessories, as well as Standard and Pocket Starter Kits. Maruman Spiral notebooks are back in stock, as well as some of the more popular Yamamoto A4 papers, including Kin Kaku Den, Soliste, Slight White, and Light Force. Finally, be sure to check out our ever-expanding selection of desk accessories, including Toyo steel boxes and Braun desk alarm clocks - a new analog timer to complement our sandglass selection!
Our brick-and-mortar shop is open Thursday and Friday from 1pm-6pm, and on Saturday from 10am-6pm, and otherwise by appointment. Hope to see you soon!
Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter TSG_25 (T.G.S. Special Edition). Our most recent collaboration is an A5-Slim Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter, in a soft exterior Olive leather with dark grey suede interior. This Taschenbegleiter will fit notebooks from several different existing brands, or you can cut down a standard A5 to fit the dimensions. You can read more about this release and how it works in Tuesday’s post.
Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter Standard Sizes (A5 and B6). Along with our TGS_25 special edition, we have additional stock of A5 and B6 Taschenbegleiters in a variety of cover colors and interior finishes.
T.G.S. x Hinze Taschenstift “Violet Tendencies” Micarta Fountain Pen. We have some remaining stock of our latest fountain pen collaboration with Hinze Pens, which features a dark purple Micarta with a matching anodized nib and section. You can read more about this here.
Lochby Voyager A5 Slim Journal Cover. For those not into the leather Taschenbegleiter, Lochby offers their own A5 Slim cover in waxed canvas. These will accept any refill/notebook up to 4.3” x 7.3”.
Uni Jetstream M17 Ballpoint Refill. We have another shipment of the excellent Uni Jetstream refill designed to fit Lamy ballpoint pens that take the standard M16 refill (Safari, AL-Star, 2000, etc.). .5mm and .7mm tip sizes are available.
Braun Desktop/Travel Alarm Clocks. I rediscovered this line of classic Braun desk accessories when I visited London last year, and while I haven’t yet been able to source the calculator, I did find this compact travel alarm clock that I use as a non-phone desk clock at my office.
Toyo Stackable Steel Storage Boxes. These stackable steel boxes from Japan are a modern design classic, and can be used to store anything from stationery to office supplies to charging cables to coffee and tea. (I hear some people even use the taller sizes to store ink bottles.) Multiple colors and sizes are available.
Original Brooks Hand-sewn Notebooks. These handmade creations are U.S.-made using reclaimed scrap, vintage, and even antique paper, and even include a few envelopes sewn into the notebooks that you can use to hold mementos. Two sizes available.
Shorthand Press Notebooks and Desk Pads. For obvious reasons, we’ve been exploring U.S.-sourced stationery over the past several months, and have decided to bring Shorthand Press’s gorgeous spiral notebooks and classic vintage-inspired desk pads into the shop. Made in Los Angeles.
Appointed Notebooks and Writing Pads. One of the most pencil friendly papers we’ve used, Appointed paper is textured and really takes graphite well due to its texture. We also love the textured linen covers.
This muted vintage yellow might be my favorite color of the Toyo Steel Boxes.
