Tel Aviv's Best Stationery And Paper Craft Stores

In a digital world where everything and everyone is typing away on their tech devices, there are a few shops that are still clinging to the now ‘lost art’ of handwritten notes and stationery. There is something timeless and innately human about receiving an actual card on a special occasion; a physical piece of evidence trapped time that has far more significance than an email. The paper game is coming back strong in Tel Aviv, where vintage and a personal touch take center stage. Rediscover pen and (really nice) paper with these lovely shops.
