About LANYU
LANYU began with a simple frustration.
As a journalling and stationery lover living in the UK, I often found it surprisingly difficult to discover and buy the Asian stationery I loved. Many beautiful brands were hard to find, international shipping was expensive, and ordering from several different stores quickly became complicated.
I created LANYU to make that experience easier.
We bring together distinctive stationery from across Asia, including independent studios, illustrator-led brands and well-loved Japanese, Korean and Chinese makers—all available from one UK-based store.
The aim is simple: to help you discover stationery that feels special, without the difficult search, high overseas postage or long wait.
Thoughtfully curated
Beautiful stationery is everywhere. Finding the right one isn't. At LANYU, we spend the time discovering products, so you don't have to.
We do not try to stock everything.
Each product is selected with real use in mind: how it feels in your hand, how it works on a journal page, whether the design is distinctive, and whether it is something you will genuinely enjoy using.
We look for thoughtful details, quality materials and designs that are not always easy to find in the UK.
From familiar favourites to smaller independent brands, every piece is chosen to bring something useful, beautiful or a little unexpected to your stationery collection.
Asian stationery, made easier to discover
Many of the brands we stock come from independent artists and studios across Asia.
Some of the most exciting stationery comes from small artists, studios and specialist brands across Asia, but discovering them from the UK is not always straightforward.
LANYU brings these brands together in one place, making it easier to explore different illustration styles, paper formats and creative ideas without ordering separately from overseas.
We hope to introduce you to products you may not have come across before, while making the whole experience simpler, more accessible and more enjoyable.
Carefully packed in the UK
Ordering stationery should feel just as enjoyable as receiving it.
Every LANYU order is packed and dispatched from the UK.
Your stationery is prepared with care so it arrives safely, neatly and ready to enjoy. UK-based dispatch also means no unexpected customs charges and a much simpler delivery experience than ordering from several overseas stores.
From discovering a new brand to opening your parcel, we want every part of shopping with LANYU to feel personal, straightforward and considered.
