Get in Touch

Ready to bring your brand into Asia?

We're selective about the brands we take on — we only distribute products we believe in and can sell well. If your brand is a strong fit for the Singapore and Malaysia premium stationery and lifestyle market, we'd like to hear from you.

Premium positioning

We focus on premium and design-led brands. Mass-market products are not our channel.

Stationery, lifestyle or gifts

Our core categories: notebooks, writing instruments, paper goods, craft, and lifestyle gifting.

Retail-ready product

Products should have clear retail packaging, established pricing, and be ready to ship.

Long-term partnership mindset

We invest in building brands here. We look for brand owners who share that long-term view.
