Labor Day was established by Congress in 1894 on the first Monday in September to honor the nation’s workers and their contributions to this country. It’s also regarded as the unofficial start to the NFL season, but for paper nerds, it’s a chance to score some major stationery swag at a great discount.
Take Papier, which has a most admirable mission: Creating stationery to invite curiosity and contemplation. This emporium of eclectic designs — designed both in-house and by an ever-changing cornucopia of up-and-coming makers, iconic brands and even fashion labels — aims to highlight the endless possibilities of the blank page. Every offering can be personalized, and as such, they are made to order and help reduce waste and carbon emissions. And, best of all, this esteemed house of paper has reduced its Academic Year Planners and Mid-Year planners for 15% off through September 4.
Here’s a quick peek at a few swoonworthy designs:
Papier was gracious enough to offer to send me a sample, and I let my daughter Veronica pick one, as she’s just beginning her senior year. She chose this cool wire-o Colourblock design — and it’s been her constant companion since its unboxing. The last time I looked, her deadline trackers were packed with her dizzying college application deadlines. I so appreciate that she has this useful tool to help her navigate this rather stressful time.
The widespread popularity of Papier is such that these are going extremely fast. So, wait no longer to let the laborious shopping begin. Head on over to Papier and start designing your future!
