Details gift set

The gift set also includes:

  • Acorn & Mire pencil made in England from FSC-certified timber. (Please let us know in the comments if you'd like a left-handed pencil. Right handed pencils are supplied by default.)
  • The world's best long point, plastic-free pencil sharpener (Made in Germany).
  • Gift box, made in our studio from the matching paper stock as the colour of your field journal.

Acorn & Mire was born out of a desire to support, promote, and nurture the remaining paper mills and merchants in the UK. For this line, we only use UK-manufactured, recycled papers.

To this paper, we apply our craft—letterpress printing—to create stationery the old-fashioned way: with metal and wood and maximum effort.

Our field journals are printed using truly traditional methods—a kiss of an impression to leave just enough ink. This ensures the protection and longevity of our metal and wood type. (There are fewer than two dozen manufacturers of type left in the UK.)

It's not about clinging to the past—rather it's about offering an alternative to rapid, mass consumerism. It's about supporting our neighbours, and honouring our friendships with something better than cheap and fast.
