Papier earns strong reviews for beautifully designed, highly customizable stationery that often feels luxurious and writes smoothly—many note thick, fountain‑pen‑friendly paper and elegant artist collaborations—but recurring complaints cite thinner paper in recent editions, bleed‑through, awkward planner layouts, and occasional print or packaging flaws. Reviews of Papier suggest the brand is good for gifts and daily use if design and personalization matter, but planners’ organization, paper consistency, and quality control can disappoint some buyers.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I absolutely love my Papier notebooks! I own two so far and I use at least one of them almost everyday. I am extremely impressed with their quality and design and the fact that they are also very functional. For my plain paper notebook, I have ADHD to I use it for everything from jotting down ideas to taking notes in meetings and it never fails to impress. I've had so many compliments on the cover! I'm also a lefty and I'm glad that the hardcover notebooks lay flat enough for me to write without issues. The paper is also thick enough that ink doesn't smudge when I run my hand over my writing and it also doesn't bleed through. I also purchased a gratitude journal which I am slowly making my way through and it's been fun! I will be using these notebooks for a long time to come!

I love my Papier paper goods. They're beautifully designed, and I'm a fan of their collaborations. I have the Rosie Assoulin watercolor notebook with dotted lines, and I use it every day. I'm a big bullet journaler, and this is my favorite notebook for that by far. I also have a personalized notecard set. I love it so much that I actually try not to use it that often because there are only 20 cards in the pack. The paper is really high-quality. It comes in a beautiful box. I also gifted my mom their stationary, and she loves it.

It's a lil pricey.

Horrible. Horrible service and quality. DO NOT RECOMMEND My invitations were printed with weird discoloration and bleed and they told me they couldn’t do anything to change it and offered me 15% refund. Like that does anything. I cannot use these invitations so therefore just lost out on $275.

Papier's planners are GORGEOUS. I really wanted this to be a 5-star review, but unfortunately, I have some qualms with the quality. Firstly, the packaging the planner came in, while cute, did absolutely nothing to protect the planner during shipping and it came bent out of shape. It's not a huge deal, there are no cracks or scratches, but I've been weighing it down to mold it back into shape for a while now. Secondly, for $32, the paper quality is not where it should be. EVERYTHING bleeds through. Black pens, colored pens, highlighters (I use Zebra Mildliners). This really sucks because I'm a huge highlighter/color coder and I will likely be highlighting something on every page. The bleed-through is really obvious. My $10 planner from Amazon last year held up better with my highlighters than this one that's x3 the price. Aside from the quality issues, I really like this planner. The cover is gorgeous (I got a blue-green aura-y one). I like that there are sections for your schedule and for deadlines, and that on the weekly planning sections, you can write which semester and which week of the semester you're in (I have trouble keeping track haha). I usually like the monthly and weekly sections for the same month to be together, but I don't mind them being separate with this planner because it comes with two bookmark ribbons attached so I can keep my place in both. Papier definitely would've been my go-to planner company for the rest of college, but I'm honestly unsure if I'll buy from them again. I guess I'll have to see if I learn to tolerate the bleed-through throughout the school year.

I am so disappointed with Papier after being a longtime customer. I buy a new wellness journal every quarter and the most recent one had much thinner paper. I can see my writing as well as the printing on the paper straight though to the next page. For the price of the journal, I would expect weightier paper. When I emailed the company, they simply said that it was a different paper stock and they were sorry I didn’t like it with an offer to refund $3 to my credit card.

The quality doesn’t match up with the price. You’re better off going to a different company for custom journals and cards.

Very pleasantly surprised. While I agree it is on a pricier side, and it feels a little bit "rougher" (meaning, not polished like a Lily Pulitzer or Ban.do notebook/planner with colors and stickers and so forth), but it makes for a perfect, subtly customized gift for yourself or anyone else! The colors are accurately shown on the website as well, which I am happy about. Overall, I think about it as having spent nearly $40 for the entire year -- since I got a planner, and I try to make myself feel better by thinking I'm spending 3 dollars a month for this planner - and that is worth it.

The customers service team responded quickly. I had issues with applying a promo code, turns out it was only for notebooks, not planners. I still feel the planners can be a little cheaper, but that is the price of customizations!

I would rate this 0 stars if I could. My order arrived damaged and the customer service team was unwilling to give a full refund for the product. Pictures were sent that they did not fully address other than saying they were sorry. The fault was as a result of their packaging materials, so why would I want to pay and order another product from them? So I could get another damaged planner? For such a pricy planner especially for a student it really sucks that it’s completely dented and that the company was willing to do so little about it. I did tell them how the damage was as a result of their packaging and they didn’t care at all, didn’t even address the message at all. I absolutely will not be ordering from them again, and would not recommend their products to anybody else.

Definitely needs better packaging and customer service.

As a stationary-lover, Papier is definitely a wonderful brand to try out. The hardcover diaries are of high quality and the cover designs offered are absolutely lovely. I recently bought a mid-year diary because I wanted something that was more simple and sophisticated and Papier certainly delivered on that front. A lot of diaries have too many extra sections and pages, whereas I find my Papier diary has just the right amount of sections to help me stay organised without overwhelming me with content. Additionally, I was quite happy with the shipping time and loved the recyclable packaging.
Feedback
Despite loving its texture, I find the paper to be slightly too thin as I can see contents of the next page (without having written anything yet). This means you have to be very careful of the pen you use to write in the diary, as it can easily bleed. Secondly, I wish that all the pages relating to a certain month could be grouped together - ie. the August monthly calendar, August monthly goals, and August weekly spreads all be in the same section. I find it a tad bit annoying having to flip back and forth between the monthly calendar spreads and the weekly calendar spreads, but this is simply my personal preference.

I got the cutest customizable journal from Papier. It feels incredibly well-made and looks so cute.

Lasted me a month before the film cover started to tear up. Poor quality material . will not buy again.

Let me tell you, Papier blew me away! Their stationery is not only gorgeous but also top-notch quality. I ordered personalized notebooks and they arrived beautifully packaged, which made the unboxing experience feel special. The paper is smooth and great for writing, and the designs are so charming, they make me smile every time I use them. If I had to nitpick, I wish there were more options for customization, but overall, Papier's attention to detail and quality are impressive. Highly recommend for anyone who loves beautiful stationery!

Bought a guestbook for my brother because have heard great things about the quality of Papier's stationary products. I am excited for him to use it at his wedding. Easy to customize, and wonderful variety of designs. However, I wish they had more options for greeting cards (such as for birthdays, special occasions, etc).

The notebooks and planners make for easy gifts for recipients you don’t know as well. The addition of personalization adds an element of intention, which elevates the gift. A great combo of thoughtfulness and functionality.

I always order my personalized notecards here. Cute designs and high quality paper!
Papier planners are beautiful and quality. They’re nicely made and have a lot of options on their website. I’ve bought a few for gifts and people always love them. There’s something special about having a physical planner in your hand.
I currently have the 2023-34 academic planner and I love it. From someone who used to swear by bullet journaling and now no longer has the time to dedicate to planning a spread, I appreciate that the academic planner has all of the features I historically included in my bullet journals, making notetaking that much quicker. However, I do think it is a bit pricey for a notebook, and the layout throws me off a bit; each monthly "spread" is organized at the front of the notebook, and then the individual weeks follow after, rather than having each monthly overview precede the weeks in that month. It leads to some annoying flipping back and forth between the monthly calendar and the weekly spread, and the website doesn't really show that this is the internal organization system.
These products are definitely high quality! I have bought planners. recipe journals, and custom photo albums from them. Items like planners and journals are incredibly well thought out and you can tell they care about the detail. The custom photo album wasn't the quality I was expecting but that might have been on me (Softback Photo Book). They also aren't the best with keeping you informed about shipping but that didn't feel like a big deal to me at all.
Super diverse selection of designs and patterns, with options for personalization as well. The personalization aspect is great if you're looking to gift one of their products -- everyone I've given a Papier notebook to has loved it, especially the personalized touch. Quality is amazing, and the packaging is excellent too. If you love stationery, you'll love Papier.

I wish their products were more widely available in stores, as I usually prefer seeing stationery, notebooks, etc., in person prior to purchasing.

High end paper. Not sure if is worth the price tag.
