Shopping for designers isn’t easy — but we’ve got you covered. Perfect not only for designers, but for anyone with an eye for the curious and beautifully made. One tip before diving in: hide your credit card.
Present & Correct
Present & Correct is a delightfully tempting shop in London, specializing in stationery, office supplies, and nostalgic design with a modern twist. Think rare vintage finds, beautifully bound notebooks, calendars, and joyful desk accessories for lovers of design and order. Bonus: they have worldwide shipping.
Le Typographe
Le Typographe is a boutique studio in Brussels dedicated to the fine art of letterpress printing. Since 2007, founder Cédric Chauvelot and his team have been crafting handmade notebooks, greeting cards, and elegant paper goods with uncompromising quality. A true delight for design lovers, paper addicts, and anyone who swoons at the scent of freshly printed type. Everything can be customized with embossed details — or bought off the shelf.
In Paris? You’ll find them at Le Bon Marché (that’s where I discovered them). Not in Paris? No worries — they have worldwide shipping.
Yonil
Yonil (aka Jonathan Lax) is a Tel Aviv–based designer and illustrator who’s been producing T-shirts, prints, and posters at an international standard for years. From product quality to the neon-green paper wrapping and hand-stamped packaging, every detail feels thoughtful and exciting. Great prices too. Highly recommended.
Counter Print
Counter Print is a wildly inspiring bookshop, founded back in 2008 by Celine Leterme and Jon Dowling — the idea was born over drinks at a pub (naturally). At its core, it’s all about curation: a handpicked selection of design and art books that are surprising, delightful, and often hard to find. Some are familiar, others beautifully obscure. The shop also runs an independent publishing house, with its titles available online. You’ll also find magazines, gorgeous printed goods for your desk, and a few treasures for kids.
Stack
Quite possibly the best magazine shop on the internet — with totally reasonable shipping rates. Run by the lovely Steven Watson, Stack was founded back in 2008 and focuses on independent magazines from around the world. They’re based in London and ship globally.
You can either subscribe to their monthly service (each month brings a new, carefully chosen magazine you’ve likely never heard of — and that’s the point), or browse their regular shop for a curated selection of stunning, collectible issues. Honestly, it should be illegal to look this good.
Each year, Stack also hosts its own magazine awards — worth checking out, along with their wonderfully addictive flick-through videos on Vimeo.
Dekel Hevroni
Dekel Hevroni is one of the most talented music poster designers in Israel.
In a time when black-and-white prints on neon paper have become the norm, Hevroni insists on screen printing each of his designs by hand, using multiple layers. The result? Pure visual candy you’ll actually want to hang on your wall.
NAMA
Naama Ben Moshe began her journey as a textile designer, but her illustrations slowly took on a life of their own — literally.
Over time, her drawings became three-dimensional, stepping off the page and into the world of fabric and thread. The result? Irresistibly charming creations that bring a silly smile to your face. Her online shop is home to her signature illustrated style, now reborn as plush dolls, pillows, wall blankets, bags, and more.
Oh — and don’t even get us started on her gorgeous packaging.
The Silent Giants
If we’re talking poster design, let’s talk about The Silent Giants.
Founded in 2006 in Detroit by graphic designer Christopher Everhart — who, by day, works as an art director at the very corporate McCann — this project is pure passion. And you can feel it.
The Silent Giants creates stunning, official screen-printed posters for live shows by the likes of Jack White, Leon Bridges, The National, The Dead Weather, The Flaming Lips, and many more. Design nerds and music lovers, you’ve been warned.
ottoGraphic
Otto Dettmer is a one-man publishing army.
An illustrator and designer based in the English countryside near Bath, he single-handedly runs a small press dedicated to zines, artist books, and silkscreen printing manuals — all meticulously crafted by hand. He prints everything in his own studio, and even binds the books himself.
I came across his work at a zine fair in London, and was genuinely blown away by the quality of the design and printing. Each piece feels intentional and considered — no filler here — and while the prices are on the higher end for the genre, they’re more than justified by the care and labor behind every item.
