Hightide

Founded in Fukuoka in 1994, Hightide is a Japanese stationery brand whose range covers planners, notebooks, pens, and other small objects that come in handy in everyday life. The brand draws on a certain retro feel, and alongside its best-known Hightide Diary series, it publishes several in-house brands: Penco and New Retro, among them, both likely already familiar to anyone with an eye for practical yet stylish design.
