Pencil-Only Boutiques

This Unique New York Store Exclusively Sells Pencils and Pencil Accessories

— October 3, 2015 — Business
New York's CW Pencil Enterprise is a beautiful, whimsical pencil-only stationery store. Caroline Weaver is the owner behind the initials, and she's a hardcore pencil enthusiast. Her passion for pencils is evident through her amazing Instagram account, which features brilliantly designed displays of specialty pencils arranged into colorful geometric patterns.

The pencil-only store mostly offers a huge range and variety of pencils, but it also has a few pencil-related items, like notebooks, sharpeners, erasers and cases. It aims to be not only a pencil-only boutique for pencil lovers worldwide, but also a place to share the stories and origins of different types of pencils.

Although most of the pencils in the shop can be bought for a dollar or two, Weaver says that "writing with a pencil can be just as pleasurable as writing with an $800 fountain pen."
