About Wilder.

In 2020, during the brief window in which we were allowed to travel, Sarah and I ventured from our home in the South West and travelled to Scotland. With the exception of the Satnav to keep our marriage from ending in map-induced flames, we stayed away from screens as we followed the North Coast 500 in our campervan. Instead, we took notebooks. When we weren’t sitting by the fire or dragging one of the dogs out of a loch, we had a chance to write and think and talk, free from the endless pings of smartphone notifications. We hadn’t really planned a digital detox, it just happened. But in that place of quiet, an idea took hold. Slow stationery for the soul. Inspired by the UK’s many artisans and skilled manufacturers, our reputation for great quality and our love of stationery, combining our interests and passions into a clearly defined, well thought-out range of products was an obvious step. When we returned home, we researched the very best papers, testing dozens of samples and selecting the most buttery-smooth, nib-friendly one we could find. We debated colours endlessly, settling eventually on ink-inspired blue, graphite-inspired grey and nature-inspired green. We sought out a local, independent manufacturer and watched the first notebooks coming off the press. And here we are. Living Wilder.Read their story
