Sidonie Warren Papersmiths

The origins of Papersmiths

Papersmiths was co-founded in Bristol by Sidonie Warren in 2013. Two graphic designers with five hundred quid and an obsession with stationery and paper goods decided to turn half of their studio into a shop.

Since then, Sidonie has brought the Papersmiths offering to some of your favourite hang outs in Britain: Brighton's North Laine, Soho and just around the corner from Sloane Square in Chelsea, on Pavilion Road. Sidonie sources the cult classics and harder-to-find gems of the stationery world from designers and makers across the globe. Bringing her discoveries together in bricks-and-mortar stores, each space is a playground designed to inspire creative pursuits.

Super-cute and it works!

Absolutely beautiful diary

I love the colour (beautiful orange) and sturdiness. It's not too big or heavy either. With this diary I can record a tiny message every day. And next year will record another message on the same page as the pages are divided in 5. So I will have my "collection of thoughts, written down everyday for 5 years".
The staff is very friendly and the delivery was very quick and well packed.

Thie best pen

This pen is absolutely divine to write with, making me very happy as I love writing notes and using my diary. I might even say… it’s the best pen I’ve ever had. I love the very fine nib.

5 stars!

I love this. I got the graph pages. I am taking notes on the right side with the graph and doing my illustrations and quick notes on the left. The perfect set up for me. I love the wire-o bind because i work remote so sometimes i don't have much room on the desk, the bind means i can fold it in half and still write - perfect!

Love this diary

I’ve been using this diary for the last 6 years. The pockets and layout suit me. Usually struggle in finding it, but thankfully for the last couple of years Papersmiths stock it and sell it at a really competitive price 😊
