Hello! Christine here today to talk about fountain pen ink. If you've ever been to our shop in person, you'll know about the ink bar. It's an L-shaped counter at the back of our shop where we usually ring up customers, but it's also home to our ink sample making station and right next to our wall of inks. Customers can come here to swatch different inks and see what they look like in person. It's one of my favorite places to hang out -- I love chatting about color and inks with people. Those who've been to the shop looking...

Join me and Ashley for this fun-filled episode of Catching Up! If we look like raccoons, it's because we're a little tired from a long week of fulfilling Traveler's Notebook orders (thank you thank you!!!) but we managed to entertain ourselves with a little game involving one of our favorite newly added stationery products from last week. Be sure to watch to find out what's making our brains hurt in the thumbnail 😂

Ashley's special project is revealed in this week's Catching Up! Hear from Ashley what inspired her to create her memo pad and why it has so many pages! This week at Yoseka, we were busy making a new TWSBI Nib and Line Comparison video which took a toll on all of us 😂 Catch some behind the scenes stories as Ashley and I chat about the week. Thanks for watching, everyone!    

 We are so excited to share with everyone this Note Writing Pad that Ashley has been working hard on designing all year! As many of you already know, this year, each member of our team has thought of a special project they would like to create with Yoseka. Earlier this year, Ashley said she would love to design a memo pad inspired by the handwritten notes we include in all of our orders. Since we write so many notes everyday, we often find ourselves flying through memo pads, so we packed this one with a full 150 sheets in three...

TWSBI fountain pens are one of our favorite fountain pens and many people don't know this about Yoseka, but they are actually the very first fountain pens we added. Back in 2017, when Neil and I were just getting started doing pop-ups, Yoseka was a very different shop! The store pretty much existed out of our car and the wooden crates that we would load up with stationery each week and haul to whichever location where we were popping up. For the first six months, Yoseka was a different experience each time you visited us because we were experimenting and...

In this week's Catching Up, we talk about some recent Yoseka celebrations and our favorite new stationery. It was a busy week and we added everything from a new brand of fountain pens to pins and vinyl stickers from the one of the most amazing artists we know and love, Radhia Rahman! Find out which pens had my heart pitter patter and what Neil's favorite childhood show is and what it has to do with one of our newly added items. Thanks for watching everyone :)

Happy April! We had a lot of fun this month as a team! Soraya visited us and we had a team dinner that served as a mini reunion. We also got together over some delicious food to celebrate Christine's birthday this past weekend :) We miss going to our favorite local restaurants, but Neil and I have been enjoying inviting everyone over to our place for these gatherings since having Jacob.  At the beginning of the year, we announced that our goal for 2022 would be to celebrate the creativity of everyone on our team by having individual special projects that Yoseka releases with...

We are excited to introduce Laban Pen in our collections. Laban Pens was founded in Houtong, Taiwan, in 1981 by two brothers, Laban began with simple silver- and rhodium-plated fountain pens and soon expanded into more ornate and hollow-carved writing instruments. While Laban is widely regarded as a pioneer of unique pen-making techniques, the brand truly emphasizes “the original intention” of the fountain pen: an instrument held in the palm of the hand and used to express unique warmth and affection.Laban’s 325 Fountain Pen Series represents Laban’s classic design philosophy, inspired by the colors of nature, with nibs that are...

Catch up with us this week as we go over the week in review of newly added stationery! Somehow, both Ashley and I have nostalgic memories about Le Pen pens, and now that we've finally added them at Yoseka, we'll both be closing the loop on a childhood dream of ours to own these pens haha Watch to see what our picks are for Yoseka's new stationery and find out what I chatted about with this week's Customer-Friend-of-the-Week!
