Colourful & attractive online stationery sites/brands in India

Do you love fancy stationery? I do! I have purchased a number of beautiful looking notebooks, notepads, journals, planners and so on for the sheer beauty of it, and hardly could make up the heart to even use them, lest I spoil them. If you are like me, today I am giving you information about some of the best Indian websites where you can get enticing stationery at good prices (there are discounts quite often so if you find some expensive, you still have a chance!).

What to expect

• Here, I am covering paper products, mainly in book form, only.
• This blog is NOT sponsored by any of these brands.
• I have tried to put in the efforts of my research in the best and briefest way possible for stationery lovers and I hope you benefit from it. 
• These are purely my personal views. You may think differently and I am open to it!

Doodle Collection

They claim to be elegant, functional and chic, and I couldn't agree more. They offer

• Diaries and notebooks
• Note cards
• Tote bags
• Mugs
• Pens
• Pouches

If you look at their homepage, you see lots of bright colours. So is their stationery - bright, rich and vibrant.

Take a look at their journals and planners, and you will fall in love. Varied hues, right combinations of fonts and shades, plus well planned details. Just like this Doodle mindfulness journal/planner.

What I like

I love their new collection of wiro diaries with elastic band and pen/pencil to complement the beautiful diaries. Do peek in!

I got their planner as a birthday gift and I mentioned it in a previous entry that it is mind blowing. This brand also has a lot of interesting products. One section worth mentioning is the PMS collection (Post Mean Streak, not what you think :P). It has cute notecards, which I leave to you to look up to.

They have a collection of

• Badges 
• Magnets
• Mugs
• T shirts
• Dog tags
• Enamel pins
• Luggage tags
• Phone covers
• Decals
• Wall art
• Jotbooks and notebooks  
  

What I like

There is hardly anything to not love about them. I like their wall art (it has some cool lines and graphics) as well as their calenders and planners. They have a limited but lovely variety which I think makes it a breeze to choose.

Type7 design

Sleek and simple design of this website makes it a breeze to browse through. They provide

• Planners
• Notebooks
• Notepads
• Art frames
• Wrapping paper and gift tags 
• Tote bags

What I like

I like the fact that they give an option of buying two or three notebooks of our choice as a bundle at a discounted price. Their wall art comprises of some simple but good quotes.

Nightingale

If you live in India, I am sure you haven't missed hearing about this stationery brand. It has been around since the year 1964 and is one of the first to have great quality and varities of stationery. The first thing that I chanced upon on opening this website is the Bhagvad Gita! Now I am not a fan of religion and gods, but the book itself is an exquisite, enthralling piece of art, and if you are a follower of vedas and upanishads, books of this series are a must have. Do not miss out on a glimpse of the vedic cosmos series. They have Hanuman Chalisa and Yogasutras of Patanjali in addition to Bhagwad Gita.

 In addition to the regular spiral notebooks, writing pads, etc, they have the premium Nightingale collection of

• Spiral lockable notebooks
• Travel book
• Planner
• Sketch Pad
• Rustic top open pad and notebooks
• Slam book
• Visitor & Address books
• Subject notebooks

What I like

They have a contemporary feel and subtlety that appeals to all age groups. To me, it feels like closing some generation gaps :) My favourite would be the Rustic Vintage Notebooks.

Propshop24

This is not exclusively a stationery site. But then why did I include it here? You'll see! They provide

• Journals
• Planners
• Diaries
• Bookmarks and paper clips
• Notepads
• Pens and pencils
• Sticky notes and stickers
• Pouches and folders

I would call some of its products as too cool. Something you won't find easily anywhere else. I will stick to talking about paper products here. Like the Little Black Book or the Kharcha Pani book, which are absolutely creative.

I would suggest using a search option here if you're looking for something specific. But if you like to adore beautiful stationery which you will surely buy someday, you could go on admiring the vast variety of stationery the site has to offer!

I also found Wedding planners, (something that most sites do not commonly offer), magnetic notepads and a Bucket list journal here.

   

 

What I like

You can guess! Everything they have is different and tempting too! I wish I had a wedding planner when I got married :)

Chumbak

Again, this is not primarily a stationery brand, but this blog would be incomplete without the mention of Chumbak, definitely! The typical Indian style, traditional yet modern caricatures and sketches, are bound to impress. 

If you are someone who likes to be ancient and yet progressive, this is your go-to. They have nice motifs & leaf patterns, our favourite Elephants & peacocks, and Garam masala as well as Chai on their covers. You got it! They have 

• Notebooks
• Planners and Organisers
• Greeting cards
• Playing cards (What?)

I am sure you'll like the taste of it just like our adrak wali chai.

What I like

I love all their patterns, colours and designs. Just buy whatever you need!

So here ends our small but fascinating journey. Do tell me how you like it! :)

Take care.
