About Manuscript

Manuscript Brands is a British, family-owned business with over 160 years of heritage in fine writing, calligraphy, and stationery. From first letters to heirloom pens, we champion creativity across every stage of life. At our heart is Manuscript—a name synonymous with high-quality calligraphy tools and dip nibs used by generations of artists and writers. Building on this legacy, we’ve launched Tom Hessin, a contemporary fine-writing brand blending British craftsmanship with modern design. Rooted in a story dating back to 1870, Tom Hessin reimagines classic fountain pens for today’s discerning writers. We also proudly distribute a curated portfolio of global brands, offering everything from luxury pens to art supplies: Sheaffer, Cross, Visconti, Diplomat, Monteverde, Conklin, Tom’s Studio, Private Reserve Ink, Koh-I-Noor, Original Crown Mill, artPOP!, and LEGO® Stationery, Lights & Bag Tags. From premium gifts to children’s creative kits like The Lionheart Tales, we believe putting pen to paper should be beautiful, personal, and joyful. Whether you're journaling, sketching, learning calligraphy, or gifting something special, Manuscript Brands has the tools to elevate your experience.Read their story
