I have great memories of going to stationery stores growing up and wanting to buy new pens and…read morenotepads. This was before we used computers for school assignments or had our faces buried in our smartphones. Heck, we didn't even have a cellphone. This shop rekindles that flame to write all the things in your beautiful handwriting. They have a good stock of pens, fountain or otherwise, of nearly most common makes and types. The friendly ladies out front even help you try them out in little notebooks. On top of writing instruments, they stock a variety of writing paper and journals. You can buy envelopes, recycle your printer cartridges, buy new inks, or even buy printers. They also sell bags and wallets for your commuting needs. I am really glad we still have mom-and-pop stores like this in the neighborhood. Even if you don't live nearby, I highly recommend visiting this store. Who knows, you might turn into a writer!

My last two purchases totaled €1.20 and on each…read morevisit I was: warmly greeted, led to the products I needed, and my purchase was wrapped in paper with a cardboard backing to protect it in transit. And beyond that, this store has the best selection of paper (and related products) that I've ever seen in one place. P.S. if you go, don't miss the upper floor with a ton of additional papers.

Vlieger Papier is my top of mind choice when I need to buy calligraphy or drawing supplies…read more Upstairs they have a great collection of pens (parallel pens, brush pens, line art pens), pencils and everything you can imagine. Their notebook selection is also amazing, you can find pretty much any kind of artistic (plain sheets, these one with black covers - wired or not -, some other brands like Moleskine, etc) or note taking books (there was a day I saw a music sheet notebook too, so there's a lot of options) in different sizes. Some people say things are expensive there, but if you compare to some online stores in the Netherlands, it's the same price (at least for some calligraphy supplies; can't say about the rest). But you can also find "basic"/common stuff, like drawing pencils, erasers, rulers, these kind of things. If you're more into painting and crafts, you will find a lot of options in the main floor. They also have nice classy envelopes,.

I am for the paper. The range is kind of like stationery driven. More like Paperchase or Papersource. The draw was the sign on the door that said they had elephant poo paper. Now who wouldn't want that? Anyway I found some amazing thick paper to wrap a gift of artwork. It was bold print and perfect. It is a big store, I just wish they had more stuff.

When you walking in this store you get a hardy "hello" or "good day"! (In Dutch of course). If you…read moreneed help, they are happy to help. Their selection of papers and pens are impressive. Want a marker? They have those too! Folders? Yep. Card? Yes, those too. If you like Moleskin products, there is quite a selection. I just couldn't get over how friends the staff was. I'm trying to understand more Dutch and when the man saw I was trying, he spoke in English, but I told him I was trying to work on my Dutch, so he would speak to me in Dutch and if I didn't get the whole sentence, he would tell me. He would keep asking questions and I would trying to answer them correctly. This all took maybe 2 minutes, but really made an impression on me. Wish I lived closer to this Winter!

After making a special visit to this stationers to purchase some new pens, I was extremely…read moredisappointed to find out that I couldn't pay for them on a credit card as I had only spent €17! I was told for such a small amount I could only pay by cash or debit card. I didn't think that €17 was a small amount and I didn't want to use either! I was told it would cost them €3 for the transaction, which seems a ridiculously high charge from a credit card company. I'm here on vacation and have a good credit card that gives me the best rate of exchange and no fees, so I always use it for my travels. Sadly, they were happy for me to walk out with out spending anything or even considering returning for future purchases. I definitely won't be back.
