But stationery success stories still happen! Tyler McCall and his husband and business partner Eric Campbell have been on an upward trajectory since opening their 400-square-foot shop in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, Paper & Pencil, in May 2023.
The two built the highly curated Paper & Pencil on their own terms, and when attending the New York markets for the first time in Winter 2024, the first kernel of Chicago Stationery Fest was planted.
