Our favourite stationery brands to elevate your WFH space

Ever since the glory days of Groovy Chick pencil cases and scented glitter gel pens, we’ve never quite grown out of our obsession with stationery. And since a majority of us have been working from home for a year now (!!!), there’s never been a better time to treat ourselves to some cute stationery to elevate our WFH space and give us a lockdown lift.

These are our 10 favourite stationery brands that offer everything from pretty organisation solutions to personalised writing sets and notebooks…
