The Stationery Textshop was born from a lifelong love of words, writing and the beautiful objects that make both possible.

Before opening the shop, I spent years working as a senior editor in publishing houses and a prominent medical college. These were roles that gave me a deep appreciation for the craft of writing and the tools that support it.

Almost 10 years ago I went out on my own, founding Textshop Content, which grew into a successful editing and writing business serving some of Australia's leading companies.

At the beginning of 2026, I decided it was time for a sister business — one that celebrates the physical joy of putting pen to paper. And so The Stationery Textshop was born. I curate every item in the shop with care, choosing only what I consider to be the finest stationery available.

Whether you're a journal keeper, a letter writer, a card sender or someone who believes a beautiful notebook makes life better — you're in the right place.

I can't wait to meet fellow stationery lovers and share this wonderful world with you.
