Depuis près d'une décennie, les carnets paper republic occupent une place privilégiée sur les étagères des boutiques Topdrawer aux États-Unis. Ce partenariat entre nos deux maisons s'est renforcé au fil des ans et nous a permis de confier nos carnets en cuir à celles et ceux qui reconnaissent d'instinct les objets faits pour durer. En mai, notre place dans leurs boutiques prendra de l'ampleur. Nous arrivons avec panache.
Nous sommes fiers d'annoncer que deux boutiques Topdrawer, l'une à New York, l'autre à Los Angeles, sont en passe de devenir les premières embassies permanentes de paper republic aux États-Unis. Et pour marquer l'occasion, plusieurs membres de notre équipe feront le voyage depuis Vienne pour être présents en personne : la première semaine à New York, la deuxième à Los Angeles. Cet événement tant attendu est l'occasion idéale de célébrer.
Pour cette occasion, nous préparons chaque détail avec soin. Deux villes, deux semaines, une seule valise partie de Vienne, remplie de surprises que nous avons hâte de vous dévoiler, des pièces que vous ne retrouverez plus en boutique une fois l’équipe repartie en Europe. Mais cet événement offrira bien plus que cela : la possibilité de découvrir en avant-première l’ensemble de la collection paper republic et de choisir votre pièce préférée, des sessions privées le matin pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent un moment plus calme, plus privilégié avec l’équipe, des échanges avec nos collègues, et cette sensation, rare, presque imperceptible d’assister au début de quelque chose.
Les deux embassies sont ici pour rester, mais ces deux semaines n’auront lieu qu’une seule fois : ne manquez pas l’occasion de dire « j’y étais ».

Nos deux nouvelles résidences à New York et Los Angeles
For the first time in the US, the complete paper republic collection will be permanently available in one dedicated space: every format, colour and finish, all in one place to hold, compare, and take your time with. If there is a piece you have been waiting to put your hands on, this is your moment to come first and get a proper feel for it. Personalisation services, including embossing, ribbon change, and journal set-up, will be on hand throughout the tour and beyond. When the paper republic team travels home, the Topdrawer staff will be there to carry the same experience forward, with the same care and the same depth of knowledge, for every customer who walks through the door.
Across all other Topdrawer locations in the United States, a curated selection of paper republic products will, of course, continue to be available.
Meet our minds and hands
Our team will make its first stop in New York, at Topdrawer SoHo, from May 14 to 20, before continuing to Los Angeles, where we will be at Topdrawer Larchmont from May 21 to 27.
Ranee, Claire, Paul, Erin, Rosalie, and both our Yvonnes will be in store, carrying years of knowledge about every format, leather, and every small decision that goes into making a paper republic journal feel like it was made for you. They will take the time to walk you through the collection and answer every question you might have, from which paper weight works best with your fountain pen, to why vegetable-tanned leather smells that good, to which journal shade best matches your aura colour (we do not judge). Come with a list or come with nothing at all: there is no rush and no obligation to leave with anything other than a good reason to come back.
A relationship ten years in the making
When paper republic and Topdrawer first came together, roughly ten years ago, Topdrawer was still a smaller, but already distinctive presence in the American market: five stores, each one dedicated to the kind of analogue, carefully considered objects that most retail had long stopped making room for. The fit was natural. Both brands shared a belief that the things you use every day deserve to be made well, chosen with intention, and built to last.
Over the following years, the relationship grew steadily, as Topdrawer expanded to fifteen locations across the United States, each one becoming a place where paper republic found a natural home. What began as a simple retail partnership gradually turned into something closer to a genuine friendship, shaped by a shared sensibility and the conviction that slowing down to choose the right notebook is never a waste of time. It is that conviction that made the step toward an official embassy feel not like a leap, but like a natural next chapter.
Why an [embassy]
Words matter to us. An embassy is not a shelf space or a branded corner, but a place where the full world of paper republic can be experienced with the same level of care and attention we give in la maison, our store in Vienna. This means being able to sit with the collection, spend time with each format, get a real sense of the materials, and be guided by someone who knows every detail behind what you are holding. That is what our Paris embassy at Papeterie Perjac offers already, and what both Topdrawer locations will carry forward, permanently. Those two weeks in May are a chance to experience all of this firsthand.
We hope to see you there.
New York: May 14 to 20, Topdrawer SoHo
Los Angeles: May 21 to 27, Topdrawer Larchmont
Private morning sessions are available each day between 08:00 and 11:00 for those who want more time with the team, a quieter setting, and first access to what we are bringing from Vienna. Each session lasts 30 minutes. Places are limited and booking in advance is strongly recommended. The rest of the day remains open for walk-ins as usual.
More information on how to book your private appointment coming soon.
