The Analog Stationer Store Interior
The Analog Stationer

A Neighborhood Shop

The Analog Stationer is a neighborhood stationery shop built around slowing down, touching things, and choosing tools that make daily life more intentional. It’s a place to test pens, feel paper, ask questions, and linger. A shop that values curiosity, community, and well-made materials over speed or scale.

We believe that small, local shops still matter. That shopping can be personal. That the experience of choosing something thoughtfully is just as important as the thing itself. The Analog Stationer exists to bring back a feeling many of us miss: the intimacy of neighborhood stores, where you’re welcome to take your time and where being known matters.

FROM THE FOUNDER

Meet Chaya

I’m Chaya, the founder of The Analog Stationer. I built this shop to bring back a feeling I grew up with and never wanted to lose.

I grew up in Crown Heights, on a main street lined with small businesses where everyone knew each other. On my corner was a small stationery store called Popack’s. My friends and I would stop in after school just to test Parker pens. That simple ritual stayed with me.

When I opened The Analog Stationer, I wanted to recreate that feeling. A neighborhood place where you can linger, touch things, ask questions, and enjoy the quiet joy of well-made tools. I’ve always loved stationery and the tactile pleasure of writing things down. Pens, notebooks, paper. Simple objects that help us think, organize our lives, and stay connected to ourselves and each other.

"We pack a lot into a small space, and people are often surprised by how much there is to discover. Everything in the shop has been chosen with care for its usefulness, quality, beauty, or sheer delight.

What We Believe

We believe in return customers. We believe in diversity and welcome everyone. We want kids, students, artists, writers, fountain pen nerds, fancy people, old people, and curious beginners to all feel at home in the same space.

We believe in well-built things, good paper, and honest materials. We don’t want the shop to feel sanitized, saccharine, or fake. We want it to feel human.

We believe that fewer choices, made thoughtfully, lead to more satisfying experiences. And that tools you can touch, test, and use deeply have a lasting place in modern life.

An Open Invitation

Come in, say hi, take your time. Look through everything. Ask questions. Enjoy the feel of good paper and a pen that writes just right.

Whether you’re a professional artist or a list maker, a meticulous journaler or a doodler, someone curious about fountain pens or a kid with a few dollars to spend on a rainbow pencil, we’re glad you’re here.

You don’t have to buy anything to belong. But if you do, we’re honored you chose us.
