Thank you everyone for wishing us well while we were out sick last week!
A Change to Our Thank You Notes
Hi everyone! Daisy here :) I’m not exactly sure how to start this blog post! I’ve written so many in the past, but this is a hard one! After over a year of thinking about this and many hours of discussions with Neil and our team, we have made the decision to change our thank you notes that we enclose with our online orders. Bear with me as I explain… When Neil and I first started Yoseka Stationery, many things were different. First of all, we were called Yoseka Box 😅 Yoseka started as a side project for Neil. At...

Traveler's Company Partner Shop Postcard
Today we are looking ahead and really excited to finally be able to share the details of this exclusive @travelers_company Partner Shop postcard illustrated for us by our dearest friend @meaganillustrates When Traveler’s reached out to us and asked us which Traveler’s Notebook user we could think of that would be great for this project, Neil and I didn’t hesitate to recommend Meagan. She was the obvious choice for us because time and again, she has blown us away with the artwork she has created for us. From her watercolor of our Greenpoint storefront that she gifted us for our one year anniversary to...
Yoseka Story Time: Help us win our chargeback cases 🕵🏻♀️🕵🏻
Four years ago, we began carrying gold nib fountain pens. The first gold nib pen we sold was a Pilot burgundy Decimo in fine, and I still remember the customer’s name. Building up a collection of gold nibs was expensive, and we couldn’t get a lot of them. Our goal at Yoseka is to bring wonderful stationery in one place, and we want to represent a full range of writing tools— from gel, ballpoint, rollerball to more expensive gold nib pens. We love watching customers discover a different feeling in writing and that moment of happiness is why we opened...

Yoseka Special Project with Christine
So happy to be able to share Christine’s Special Project with everyone! It’s been especially fun seeing this bookmark evolve and take shape over the last few months. What started off as Christine’s idea to make something she could use in her own planner became this charming little bookmark we’d love to share with you all. You know Yoseka loves gold, which pairs so well with our beloved antiques and the soft worn-in leather on our Traveler’s Notebooks.We’ll be including Christine’s bookmarks in all gold nib fountain pen orders starting today. We hope you’ll be able to enjoy using them...

If you have decided on a TWSBI model and are trying to choose between different nib sizes, this article may help you decide which nib size is the right...
