  • Luxurious, customizable designs
  • Smooth, fountain‑pen‑friendly paper
  • Elegant artist collaboration offerings
  • Thoughtful, functional planner layouts
  • Inconsistent paper thickness lately
  • Noticeable ink bleed‑through reports
  • Awkward, separated planner sections
  • Occasional printing and packaging defects

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.

  • Great agenda to keep track of all the things to do and monthly goals. I would recommend it to freelancers to stay more organised and to schedule their work

  • Ordered a journal for uni and don’t think I could live without it!! So amazing to keep up with goals and deadlines and keeping everything organised💖💖

  • I wanted to love this brand so badly. I obsessed over their website for so long before finally caving and buying the most expensive student planner I've ever bought (my former go-to planners were whatever I found at Staples). The planner was beautiful, although the cover was a little les hi-res than I was expecting. It was also my first time buying a proper bound planner that looked like a book rather than a spiral-bound one that looked like a notebook. I'm VERY picky about my planners because they are my lifeline during college. Unfortunately, this planner did not measure up. I had visions of using every single page of this planner and then keeping it as a souvenir/ode to my first year of grad school, but unfortunately NONE of the pages were where I thought they'd be. Instead of having a month page layout followed by weekly layout pages for that month (the most logical order), all the month layout pages are grouped together, and then all the weekly pages for every month are grouped together after them (???). I did like the way the weekly pages were set up, with columns for the days so you could potentially group to-do items by time and such. To be fair, there are a lot of cute bells and whistles in this planner, such as pages where you can color in your class schedule, financial planners, meal prep recipe pages, and pages to track your assignments/grades (nowadays, every uni uses online systems though, so this is not very useful). I ended up using like 6 tabs on the planner so I could easily flip back and forth from the month layout to the weekly layout for the week (not really something you should have to do with a planner). The binding did get annoying sometimes, as it doesn't lay completely flat, but the pages ARE good quality, like they say on the website, and the planner looks really good sitting on a desk. The layout just doesn't make me want to use it very much, unfortunately. I still use the weekly pages to plan out when to do assignments, but the monthly pages have been replaced by my Google calendar and nothing else has been supremely useful.

    Perhaps the regular notebooks and custom stationary from Papier are more worth the money. I would consider buying custom stationary from Papier, but not sure if I'm open to trying anything else. If you need a planner, look elsewhere, unless the unconventional layout of pages doesn't bother you.

  • I love this brand! The designs are so cute and the quality is top notch.

  • Papier's Daily Productivity Planner is my absolute go-to. I have been using it every day for over a year. The only downside is that the planner plus shipping is expensive, but the quality is high.

  • These notebooks are soo cute and have really unique designs! I got a customised notebook with my initials and I have my eyes on the gratitude journal next! They would be great for gifting as well.

    Feedback

    A tiny bit expensive. I would love if you could customise the notebook pages also.

  • Love my Papier products. High quality and easy personalization.

  • I've bought a couple of notebooks from Papier and lots of greeting cards over the last 3 years or so. I've always been impressed with the speed of shipping as everything (even personalised) products seems to arrive quickly.

    Feedback

    I think the quality of the notebooks could be improved, they seem covered in some form of plastic coating which started peeling within a few weeks.

  • Papier is a great product if you want to treat yourself or treat someone else. I have bought a notebook for myself and also received one for Christmas. Both were gorgeously wrapped and packaged. I am a big stationery nerd so I know and appreciate a good quality notebook. The covers are of great quality alongside the internal paper too. Once I finish my current Papier notebook I will defiantly be replacing it with a new one.

    These notebooks are not cheap but you really do get what you pay for!

  • Papier has become my go to place when shopping for journals. I love the varieties of journals they offer along with the amazing covers they present. Journaling is a very intimate and creatively freeing hobby for me, and Papier makes my hobby feel more luxurious. I have yet to find journals this aesthetically pleasing with this quality and ability to personalize. I love seeing my name on my journal along with the little subtitles I can add to it. I recently got their academic planner, and I think it's just as lovely!

    Feedback

    It's a UK brand, so if you live in America or somewhere else like me, shipping is going to be pricey.

  • I've used a number of the planners and really like the design and style of them. I love that there are many cover designs to choose from and some different layouts internally. The goal planner has helped me plan and stay on track with many projects over recent years. I would love to see planners that last longer than 3 months, it does feel a little expensive to need 4 to last one year.

  • Words cannot describe how much I love this brand. From their planners to invitations, I adore them all. I never really stuck to an academic planner until I tried Papier, on top of how amazing the actual planner is, the cute cover was enough for me to continue using it all year long.

  • I'm a stationery fiend, so was very excited to try Papier for the first time. I really love what I've seen so far. They have a fantastic selection of designs, so there's something for all tastes. I've bought myself two notebooks so far, and received notecards as a present from a friend. The embossing on the notecards is top notch, and the paper stock is fantastic. The notebooks have beautiful smooth paper, fountain pens don't bleed through, and it's a really nice writing experience. I love that you can pick between different styles of paper (dotted for me please!). The only reason I'm giving them 4/5 is that their pricing feels a little steep, especially for invites / notecards. The notebooks seem fairly priced.

    If you order a book as a gift, it might be worth plumping for the extra gift packaging. It really elevated it in my eyes.

  • We used Papier for our wedding invites! They were beautiful, felt extremely high quality, and allowed us to customize to our specifications. We wound up working with customer success people because we needed some of the script on our invitations to be in another language (that does not use the Roman alphabet) and that wound up being very challenging and requiring a lot of back-and-forth formatting and editing. But for a more straightforward invitation, I would absolutely recommend.

    Feedback

    One other challenge was that the shipping was MUCH slower than expected for a time-sensitive product! The customer success team was very responsive and helpful about this as well, though, and wound up rush-shipping us a reprint of the invites. The original order showed up 2 weeks after we got the reprinted, rushed set out in the mail.

  • Really great experience ordering online and with product in person. Ordered an unlined, customized notebook for myself and a friend as a Christmas gift and really love the feel. You can tell on the patterned objects where the paper was cut with the machine as it's not 100% straight, but the feel is very nice with quality paper, a fun unique print and interchangeable fonts for customization without an insane fee. Would definitely look to buy more paper goods here in the future for gifts or more unique items.

  • an amazing product - upgrades day to day writing letters and post its. Will send them to all friends and family. Also - I will be using them for the holidays! Unique designs and the abillity to support small businesses

  • A adolescência que existe em mim, ama papelaria e ama ainda mais a ideia de personalizados

  • I recently started using the Papier planner, and I have to say, I am beyond impressed! This planner has everything that I need to keep my life organized and on track. Not only does it have the typical month and week views, but it also includes pages for each month that allow me to plan out my to-do lists, important dates, goals, and even a wishlist. The planner is simple yet comprehensive, and it has been incredibly convenient for someone like me who works multiple jobs and attends many events throughout the year. The quality of the planner is also exceptional, with a durable cover and high-quality paper that doesn't bleed through. Overall, I highly recommend the Papier planner to anyone who needs a comprehensive and convenient way to organize their life. It has been an absolute game-changer for me!

  • Papier is one of my go-to companies for personalized, easy gifts. I've bought lovely notebooks, travel books, planners, and more from them. The giftees always adore em!

    Fantastic design options, reasonable prices, high-quality products. I wish the delivery time was a bit quicker—mine have always take about 3-4 weeks to arrive—but they are customized, made to order products so it's understandable.
