Kaweco Sketch Up Pencil

The Kaweco Sketch Up pencil is made of solid brass with a raw finish that develops a natural patina over time.

A lead sharpener is conveniently integrated into the removable push button at the top. Photo Courtesy of Topdrawer

Native Union Night Cable

Native Union’s Night Cable is ten feet long, meaning a greater range of mobility around a power outlet. No more dropped cords or hovering near the outlet. This product comes with Native Union’s trademark braided, tangle-free cord, prevents your cord from falling off the desk, bed, or couch. Charge smarter. Photo Courtesy of Topdrawer

Merippa House Shoes - Ivory Grand Plaid / Ivory Fleece

Kolo Havana Photo Box Large

Topdrawer’s Kolo Havana photo boxes are classic cigar-style hinged-cover archive boxes. Heavyweight, warp-resistant bookbinding board enforces the box’s rigidity, fully lined with reinforced archival and acid-free end-leaf paper, and covers wrapped in Italian-milled premium book cloth. Havana can also be used for non-photo purposes, and is useful to hold memorabilia and keepsakes
