Who We Are


Black Ink is a team of designers, list makers and life lovers who are proud to create and source beautiful deluxe products at an exceptional price that you can give to everyone on your list... including YOURSELF! At Black Ink, we create our premium line of Luxe Notepads because we are PAPER PEOPLE and believe that every desk needs a beautiful place to make a list or write a letter.  

And what's more?  Now we provide the personalized, custom, and unique gifts that our customers have always loved shopping in our original brick and mortar store in Pacific Palisades.  We have now moved our store online so that people can shop the Black Ink collections from anywhere!

Black Ink has a definite look. Our motto is "Classic with a Kick". We scour the country for unique gifts and home items that you won't find anywhere else.  We use on-trend ink colors, fonts, fun words and images to delight our customers with our Black Ink notepads. We source the very finest American-made paper stock for our pads, crystal clear lucite for our trays, and the best color processing for our new color lacquer trays. Since launching in May 2012 at the National Stationery Show, we have been featured in the nation's top retail stores and in countless gift and fine stationery boutiques across the country.

A feather in our cap was being selected by Oprah for her Favorite Things list appearing in her July 2019 Made in USA issue. Our Luxe notepad is the perfect gift for anyone...men and women...hosts, friends, teachers, colleagues, parents, grandparents, someone you adore and someone you've never met. It is truly the perfect gift.

Happy Shopping!
