In honor of #nationalpencilday ✏️ yesterday, we are highlighting CW PENCIL ENTERPRISE in the Lower East Side.

@cwpencilenterprise was founded online in 2014 by Caroline Weaver, an amateur pencil collector and lifelong pencil lover. Their original store location (shown in our photo) was opened on Forsyth Street in March 2015 and their current larger shop on Orchard Street features an in-store testing station where you can try out dozens of pencils on a pad before purchasing. The staff are very knowledgeable and know everything about the pencils, erasers, notepads and pencil sharpeners they sell. The pencil shop also has a selection of antique pencils produced before 1980 which aren’t in production anymore and has a hot foil stamper so they can personalize pencils purchased at the store. Happy National Pencil ✏️Day to everyone who (like us) still uses pencils!
