About us
Founded in 2015, Quill & Kumo began as a passion project between two stationery enthusiasts who believed that the art of writing should be celebrated. What started as a small online boutique has blossomed into a premier destination for pen aficionados worldwide. Our journey has been inked with dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and the timeless elegance of fine writing instruments.
Our Mission
At Quill & Kumo, we exist to preserve and elevate the writing experience. In an increasingly digital world, we champion the tactile pleasure and personal expression that comes from putting pen to paper. We carefully curate collections that blend heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design, ensuring every product tells a story.
Core Values
- Authenticity: We only partner with manufacturers who share our commitment to quality and ethical production
- Expertise: Our team consists of true connoisseurs who provide knowledgeable, personalized guidance
- Sustainability: We prioritize eco-conscious materials and responsible packaging solutions
- Community: Building connections between writers, artists, and pen collectors is at our heart
Our Unique Approach
Unlike mass-market retailers, we treat every pen as a work of art. Each product in our collection undergoes rigorous testing by our in-house experts. We've developed proprietary evaluation criteria that assess not just functionality, but also the emotional resonance of each writing instrument.
Our concierge service goes beyond typical customer support - we offer nib customization consultations, handwriting analysis, and even host virtual writing salons where enthusiasts can share techniques and showcase their collections.
The People Behind the Pens
Our team comprises calligraphers, industrial designers, and stationery historians who bring diverse perspectives to every recommendation. Monthly "ink tasting" sessions and writing workshops keep our knowledge fresh and our passion alive. Many of us are active members of international pen clubs and regularly contribute to penmanship publications.
We believe that the right pen can be transformative - whether you're signing important documents, journaling your thoughts, or creating art. At Quill & Kumo, we don't just sell writing instruments; we help you find the perfect extension of your personal style and creative voice.
