5 Good Independent Stationery Shops

by Sophia Coyne

My New Year’s resolution this year was to start keeping a daily journal and while it didn’t seem too ambitious at the time, I haven’t exactly kept on track. I’m thinking I might have better luck if I ditched the Notes App for now and made a deliberate return to physical media, but lately it has become increasingly difficult to know where to buy stationery anymore. Pretty soon it won’t seem farfetched to wonder if people still write with pens and paper. For those of us feeling sentimental about practicing our penmanship, check out these adorable shops for the best stationery in 2026.
