Paperquirks

What's in the box: The site does not offer a subscription box, so there are no box contents to describe; it sells individual items such as notebooks, pens, file folders and art supplies.

Paperquirks presents itself as a small stationery shop rather than a subscription box service. Its site lists categories for art supplies, boxed cards, desk accessories, notebooks, pens and pencils, and general stationery, along with a page for classes. The brands on show are familiar to paper fans: Field Notes memo books and planners, Cavallini file folders and boxed sets, Kokuyo, Midori sticky notes, Mode de Paris letter sets and a novelty notebook from Archie McPhee. The bigger issue for shoppers right now is that the shop says it is moving and has paused taking orders, with no date given for reopening. The site does not describe any recurring box, subscription plan, delivery schedule or curation process, so anyone hoping for a monthly journaling parcel will find nothing to sign up for beyond a mailing list for classes and updates. Prices are shown in US dollars, which makes it unclear how well the shop serves buyers in India, and the site does not state where it ships. Much of the promotional copy is generic filler repeated across sections, which suggests the site is not fully built out. If you like the brands it stocks, it may be worth checking back later, but for now it is not a place you can buy from or subscribe to.
