About

Bochi is a stationery archive built by two collectors — one from Boston, one from Chicago. The name is a portmanteau: Bo + Chi.

We started this project because we wanted a single place to document the stationery we encounter — pens, pencils, notebooks, inks, and everything in between — with careful attention to origin, price, and where to find it.

Every entry is researched and curated by hand. We track prices in multiple currencies, note where items are manufactured and designed, and attribute our sources transparently.

Bochi is not a shop. We do not sell anything. We are an archive.
