The likes of Papier are too expensive for me. Where else is there?

I think Tesco bought Paperchase, but as I never go in Tesco I’m not sure how much they stock.

I’ve found a little independent card shop and have been using that.

John Lewis but only because I can't think of anywhere else.

I miss it too! Although in theory Paperchase is back in some tescos, it's really limited. :(
I've recently found postmark, but that may be a London thing.
Surprisingly Tiger can be good for notebooks and pads. Pens not so much.

My local Tesco now has nearly two full aisles of paper chase, came in about two weeks ago

PenguinTattoo · 06/12/2023 22:22

Oh and sainsburys offer habitat stationary which can be good.

OrigamiOwl · 06/12/2023 22:34

Our big Tesco have a small paperchase range

FractiousPangolin · 06/12/2023 22:42

Is Tesco-Paperchase stuff as nice as proper Paperchase used to be?

Yetanothernewname101 · 06/12/2023 22:54

I didn't know that Tesco bought them. That's my weekend sorted! Love paperchase!

DinosaurOfFire · 06/12/2023 22:56

WHSmith have nice stationery, or Waterstones have nice notebooks/ notecards/ pens in store too (or at least my local one does!)

I like Scribbler, it's v similar in range to Paperchase. Not really any proper art things like paperchase had but they stock lovely stationery and cards. I don't know how many shops they have though

Jane0Jane · 06/12/2023 23:25

I'm
Sure our local next home has a paper base section

I buy from artists and illustrators. Find them at craft markets and instagram.

My Tesco Extra has a wonderful section of Paperchase.

Beamur · 07/12/2023 00:07

Watching - I miss paperchase too.

KingsleyBorder · 07/12/2023 00:08

Rymans now have Paperchase style stores. So similar that I thought a local one WAS Paperchase until I learned on here that it had gone bust months ago.

one of the old Paperchase shops near my office has reopened as Rymans Designs. i had to double take the first time i went in. it was like going into paperchase https://www.ryman.co.uk/storefinder/ryman-design-bishopsgate/?y_source=1_MTAwMjIzMzY4Ni02MDAtbG9jYXRpb24ud2Vic2l0ZQ%3D%3D

Typo is good for notebooks.

Waterstones has some really nice stationery.

Sparklyhat · 07/12/2023 00:51

Big Tesco's have paperchase sections in store now!

strikeandellacott · 07/12/2023 02:35

Ohh Deer and Cult Pens!

Daisychainsandglitter · 07/12/2023 04:46

Postmark is my new go to. Love it.

shearwater2 · 07/12/2023 04:58

I just shop online. I thought Paperchase went off a bit with its designs in the five years before the shop closed, but it was really good at one time.
