The Story of Pépine

Like a lot of you, I kept my first diary in primary school. I've never stopped filling pages since: travel journals, bullet journals, photo albums, scrapbooks, piled up by the dozen.

Writing, gluing, decorating — it's my way of taking care of my memories. I'm very nostalgic, and I love the idea of finding myself in 30 years with whole shelves of notebooks telling the story of my life.

When I started out on social media in 2019, I found a whole community of creators who shared exactly that passion.

Out of that urge to create more, and share more, Pépine was born.

A handmade stationery shop for anyone who wants to create without getting stuck staring at a blank page.
Everything is drawn, printed and cut by hand, in Orléans, in small batches. Each collection is designed as a whole: the stickers, the scrapbook paper and the colors all fall into place together. All you have to do is put your page together.

I want everyone who discovers Pépine to leave with two things: beautiful stationery, and above all the irresistible urge to use it that very evening.

At Pépine, we believe creating should never be complicated.
That blank page syndrome can be cured with the right tools and a little inspiration.
That journaling is both a hobby and a way of looking after yourself.
