Gareth Story
Managing Director
Gareth joined Laywine's in 2011 and has been in and out of the business for the past 10 years. He now lives in London, UK, and is responsible for sourcing many of the European products in store. He's passionate about design and well-made objects. Although he refuses to admit he has a collection, he has quite a number of lovely writing instruments.
Paper
"B6 remains the ideal journal size for on-the-go notes while retaining enough space to comfortably write. And Stalogy remains everyone's top choice for a thin paper that is smooth to the touch and can hold a broad fountain pen stroke. When you can't decide which notebook to use, Stalogy's 365 days in B6 is the way to go."
Ink
"Lately, I've been writing more and more with purple inks. They have more personality than a blue or black ink, while still remaining neutral and easy to use in all circumstances. I love this one from Herbin. Not too aggressive, but a really subtle and yet distinct colour. Great!"
