They offer all LOCALLY made products, ranging from pottery, ornaments, soaps (they smell and look so yummy), signs, and much more.

If you aren't looking for paper supplies, but instead want some offbeat or whimsical gifts, then you might find it here. Some items are made by local arts-and-crafts creative people using ordinary items like bottle caps made into magnets or scrapbook pages made into picture frames. They even carry some soap and lotion made with honey from North Carolina hives. The t-shirts are funky and modern and not at all like you find in the mass retail shops. Overall, a nice local store to get a not-so-ordinary gift or create your own personalized stationery reflective of the real you.

Elaine and Cindy welcomed me as if I had been visiting for many years. I was able to shop before my class and after class. Class was informative and fun. Learn a few new techniques and was able to use my better press in a new way. I loved being able to enjoy my craft while on the road. Thank you again ladies for welcoming me and I will be back for either a class or just to spend my money!

I submitted the order online because I was unsure if I would be able to wait for it to be printed had I walked in. The instructions for online were way to follow. I ended up needing to call because I wanted to be sure that the paper was nice quality paper and not standard paper! And I wanted to change the size. When I called I instantly spoke with a girl and she couldn't really help me so she put me on hold. A guy came back to phone and informed me that he had already printed the items because I had paid for them but encouraged me to come because he could solve the issue a little better so I did. When I arrived there were only a few people in the store and I was immediately greeted. A guy named Joe checked me out but I realized that the guy I spoke with named was Darius. Each of them were very helpful and accommodating. I ended up keeping everything the same and walked out a satisfied customer. The parking lot was very and the store was well kept! The employees were nice and easy to speak with! I would definitely recommend this store to anyone who is looking to print things. But make sure that you fully understand what you are printing online! Lol!

I found the Cocoon Gallery on Yelp, which far exceeded my expectations. First, the historic town of Apwx, NC, is picturesque and charming. My only regret in stopping here is that we arrived after some of the other wonderful shops had closed for the evening. We will definitely be back! The Cocoon Gallery has a terrific selection of pottery, handbags, and jewelry, and the woman who helped us was friendly and welcoming. After debating over several gorgeous and affordable pieces, I ended up purchasing a long pair of dangling earrings made of brass and sterling. They are so prettt and lightweight, I cannot wait to wear them. I highly recommend that you visit the Cocoon Gallery, whether it's a special gift you need or a small indulgence for yourself. Just make sure you allow enough time to walk the street and visit the other shops too.

In a world where you can be anything, please be kind and polite. Nice collection for gifts though.

They have an incredible selection of notebooks, pens, markers, gel pens, and highlighters, along with so many cute accessories, pen cases, and pencil pouches. It was honestly hard to narrow down what to buy because there were so many great options! One thing I especially appreciated was that they have test paper available so you can try pens before purchasing. As someone who's picky about how a pen writes, this was such a thoughtful touch and made choosing so much easier. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and they made the whole experience even better. While I was there, I also overheard that they're expecting a large Hobonichi shipment, with planners arriving in-store around September 1st--great news for fellow stationery lovers! I left with purchases I absolutely love, and I'll definitely be making Parke Paper Co. a stop anytime I'm back in the Durham area. Whether you're a dedicated stationery enthusiast or just looking for a unique gift, this shop is absolutely worth a visit!
