There’s something irresistibly fascinating about a good mystery. The quiet tension of an unsolved case, the thrill of following clues, the allure of secret files and hidden stories waiting to be uncovered.
Our latest After Dark Rowan Berry Box, Elementory, is inspired by exactly that - a world of detectives, unsolved murders, vintage case files, and investigative ephemera. It’s a box designed for storytellers, journalers, and anyone who loves a darker, more narrative-led stationery theme.
What's included:
- Washi tape set
- Sticker sheets
- Pocket notebook
- Junk journal & ephemera
- Koh I Noor pencil & vintage eraser
- Manuscript italic marker
