Zetta Florence
Zetta Florence is both a professional preservation-supplies retailer (with a clientele of photographers, artists and archivists) and a superstore for stationery tragics. Binders, folios and archive boxes are joined by covetable leather-bound notebooks, quality papers and envelopes, and tin boxes of postcards. You’ll find international brands like Cavallini, as well as local letterpress cards and kits.

NGV Shop at NGV International
Although not of the same calibre as the great museum shops of the world (OK, London’s V&A or New York’s Met), this stylish retail space offers some well-designed and thoughtful show-based merchandise, specially mixed CDs, an obligatory but beautifully produced range of posters, as well as an erudite collection of books. Also at Ian Potter Centre: NGVA.

Kami
This shop does bookbinding as well as selling a large range of traditional high-quality paper from Japan and other countries by the roll. There are journals, photo frames, pencil holders and other household objects too, all made in the company’s Byron Bay studio. The riot of patterns that decks the walls is paradoxically soothing, as are the gracious staff.

Specklefarm
Striped grosgrain ribbon and sweetly patterned stationery will appeal to both big and little girls (and some boys too). Craft-envy doesn’t hit so hard here, as it’s all made to look easy and the staff are superhelpful.
