Step into Paper Republic, nestled in Shop 8–10, Royal Arcade, at 335 Bourke Street, Melbourne—an elegant boutique offering artisan stationery, gifts, and paper goods that celebrate craftsmanship from around the globe.

Opening its doors in April 2023 in Royal Arcade, Paper Republic brought its signature mix of handcrafted stationery, journals, greeting cards, and gifts from its beloved Camberwell store to Melbourne’s CBD. Founder Tim Hampton saw the arcade’s historic elegance as the ideal home for their artisan-focused ethos.

Here, stationery isn't paper—it's purposeful. Fine Italian leather journals from Milan, wax seal kits, hand-illustrated cards, and ornate gift wraps from Budapest are arranged like art. Many of these items are exclusive to Paper Republic in Australia. Within, you'll find a curated selection that celebrates both global and local craftsmanship. International labels like Bomo Art and Dumomo share shelf space with Australian designers such as Blue Island Press, La La Land, and Jeremy Boot. The result is a visual and tactile feast that pairs global sophistication with local heart.
