Paperchase

I recenly popped into paperchase one evening when all the other shops had closed at 5.30. I was staggered by the amount of lovely gift ideas for boys and girls and then of course al the fabulous paper and cards, wrapping accessories etc !! But what did puzzle me was that they were doing body lotion too ....!!!

I thought this branch of Paperchase was quite big, but obviously I'm wrong. They still do a great range of cards for all occassions. Why anyone would ever go to that bigger chain with the orange writing I don't know. The layout of the Brighton shop is a bit odd actually, it has a weird ramp bit when you go in.. ...which is fine for access but then there's cards all along it so people end up standing in the way.

I've already spoken about my stationery obssession in a previous review... and I must admit I have to agree with one of the other reviewers... this branch of Paperchase just isn't big enough.

It's got all the usual wonderful cards, paper, pens etc... but there's not enough of it.

At Christmas, forget trying to buy anything that isn't Christmas related - goodness knows what you're supposed to do if you know someone with a December birthday -as all the usual stock gets sidelined completely.

The stuff that's in there is fab... but it needs to be BIGGER!

This shop sells the usual fantastic cards and wonderful different coloured pens, paper etc. BUT it is too small to service the stationary needs of Brighton. They need a massive paperchase with the full range, but instead this branch is tiny and tucked away at the bottom of the South Lanes off the main drag. It's a great brand, but this store is one of their weakest branches

Who could not love Paperchase? Pens, paper, stickers, gorgeously illustrated stationary, cards, gifts, lots of things you never knew you needed but just can't bare to leave the shop without....that's paperchase. The stationary addict's ultimate fix. In my day we had to make do with a bic pen and be happy with it.
