For some of us, stationery does make the world go round. There’s little that beats the smell of hand-made paper, the feel of a leather-bound diary and the smooth gliding of a fountain pen. We’re telling you where to go to make all your stationery dreams come true. So, here's a list of must-visit stationery shops in Delhi.
13 Best Stationery Shops In Delhi For Stunning Pens, Paper, Diaries & More
Sita Ram Stationers
If you’re an art student or simply harbour a love for pretty paper, Sitaram will feel like Disneyland to you. They have an entire basement filled to the brim with paper in different colours and textures. Pottery enthusiasts can indulge in clay. There’s even a section dedicated to quirky knick-knacks such as mini furniture, 3D models etc.

Anand Stationers
A popular shop in Khan Market, Anand Stationers has a very down-to-earth vibe with its strong Indian aesthetics. Everything’s made of handcrafted paper. They keep cards in all shapes and sizes, gift envelopes (we’re loving the cute golden elephant print ones), wrapping paper and lots of pretty notebooks (expect paisleys and the like).

Nai Sadak
Nai Sadak in Old Delhi is an age-old destination for stationery. Get planners, wrapping paper, pens, pencils, mango-shaped post-its and more at wholesale prices. If you buy in bulk, you’re likely to get further discounts. You can also get your hands on glittery tapes and stickers. We came across this store which sells so many kinds of pens, with Lamy pens starting as low as INR 1,600 (as opposed to the standard INR 2,200). There’s lots of discoveries still waiting to be made here.

Yash Stationers
We know for a fact that they sell a specific type of Japanese clay that looks and feels like a giant marshmallow and is very malleable. They also have paper with texture imitation, like wood for instance. All your regular stationery is available too so it’s a pretty great stop for all your needs.

On the stationery front, they've got colourful matte tapes (INR 50), highlighter sets (INR 150), leaf-shaped staplers, pens with bobbleheads (INR 50), notebooks and a lot of other cool stuff.

AADI
The AADI store is a huge room full of block-printed stationery, handicrafts and paper/cardboard gifts. We found handmade diaries, bookmarks, wrapping paper rolls, lampshades, the prettiest jewellery boxes, and envelopes, among other things. The price range here hardly tends to go above INR 300. Best part? The products are all made by differently-abled individuals associated with various NGOs, and the proceeds from the sale of the products are used to rehabilitate them.
Timings: 9 AM - 5 PM (Closed on weekends)

Nappa Dori
Nappa Dori is for those who like simple, elegant, minimal (and expensive) stationery. They've got a limited collection of basic items like notebooks, scissors, pencils, cases and more. The focus of this store is more on quality and utility. On a side note, just buying from here will make you feel productive, blame the rationalisation effect for that.

Itsy Bitsy
Itsy Bitsy is the place if you're looking for quirky decoration. A heaven for people who like to scrapbook in general. It can be a little challenging to locate the store in Lajpat Nagar, the easiest way would be to reach there by metro as Lajpat Nagar metro station is the closest to the store.

Khalsa Brothers
This shop was originally in Nai Sadak in Old Delhi but now has shifted to Patel Nagar. Visit here if you're specifically in search of some art supplies, even though the shop doesn’t seem to be very huge, they have everything that an artist might need. Paints, canvases of all sizes, varnishes, brushes, all types of papers, and so on. The best part however is that they usually have discounts going on and you almost always get prices lesser than MRP!
