The power of the pen: making a mark in business with leading stationers Papersmiths

Independent Thinking - Exploring a new era for retail and the high street

This week, just in time for those Back to School and fresh pencil case vibes, I’m delighted to be in conversation with Sidonie from Papersmiths, a ‘stationery shop of your dreams’ with branches in London and Brighton.
Sidonie shares her story about the brand’s humble beginnings, through the growth of the business, moving cities, scaling up, and getting through those tumultuous lockdowns.

Sidonie’s story is one of seeing the value in every step of your journey, and making it the business owner you are today. Whether you’re looking to start a business or are even thinking about whether to make the leap in another aspect of your life, I think you’ll find our chat really inspiring - we talk about creative and innovative approaches to problem solving, why even the smallest items in our lives deserve to be beautiful and bring us joy, and why there's a time and a place to take risks...
