About us

Clare and Kitty’s journey started with a love of design and stationery. After a combined two decades of creating innovative stationery for Paperchase and leading companies, they decided to take the plunge in 2024 and establish their own business, In Real Life.

Why In Real Life?

In a digital age dominated by screens, we champion the art of disconnecting to reconnect. Our stationery products provide a respite from the digital noise - a chance to recharge, reflect and discover what truly matters. Whether it's jotting down thoughts or sketching ideas, we believe in the power of analogue moments.

Embracing technology mindfully

While we celebrate the tactile beauty of our products, we’re not anti-technology. We recognise that technology, when used mindfully can enhance our lives. Our stationery items serve as tools for maintaining equilibrium - a bridge between the tangible and the digital.

Design driven innovation

Design-driven innovation is at the forefront of everything we do. We’re passionate about providing quality, functional design for people’s real life needs, creating the perfect blend of style and substance.

Join us in celebrating the joy of putting pen to paper, one beautifully designed stationery piece at a time. Welcome to In Real Life!
