Traders & Explorers

Handsome office relics, paper goods, vintage ephemera, & bookish fabrics.

Discover handsome office relics, vintage paper goods, curious ephemera and bookish fabrics, all gathered for stationery lovers with an appreciation for things made to be useful, beautiful and built to last.

For more than two decades, Victoria Moss of Traders & Explorers has been sourcing treasures from around the world, building a collection that celebrates the character and patina of well-loved and beautifully made objects. Her love of stationery extends beyond pens and paper to the things that surround them, the desk accessories, storage and everyday objects that make a workspace feel personal and inspiring.

A fossick through the Traders & Explorers collection is a journey down the stationery rabbit hole. You might uncover vintage wooden boxes and drawers, intriguing office tools and relics, unused office ledgers, charming school exercise books, eclectic dishes and trays, or pieces of paper ephemera with wonderfully weathered edges and corners.

For stationery lovers who enjoy the stories held in old objects, there’s plenty to explore, and perhaps a few treasures to take home and give a new life to.
