Paper-Ya is an incredible, inspiring creative space and one of the favorite stationery shops in Vancouver, located on Granville Island with 37 years of history. It offers an unrivalled and outstanding selection of stationery and related accoutrements, with a really assorted store full of neat, cute, and funny things. This includes handmade paper, black wings pencils, fountain pens, embroidered ribbon, leather goods, invitations, every kind of calendar, posters, cards, books, and gifts from the best brands of every continent. The staff is really friendly, wonderfully patient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate, providing service that is second to none.

This is one of my favorite stationary shops in Vancouver! They're also one of the few places that carry black wings (my favorite pencils). Be very careful going to this shop because you'll end up spending a good chunk of your money here!! The staff is really friendly too!

Unrivalled selection of stationery & related accoutrements. If you are after handmade paper, ask the staff. They also carry embroidered ribbon, leather goods, invitations, and every kind of calendar. Worth a trip to Granville island just for this shop, especially if you’re a stationery nut.
