About Topdrawer
Topdrawer designs tools for the impossibly creative.
Born in Tokyo, we now operate 16 stunning stores across five major U.S. cities, with a growing direct-to-consumer luxury brand online. Our community of creative individuals relies on beautifully designed tools for living, traveling, and creating—fountain pens, notebooks, house shoes, small leather goods, bags, sunglasses, and ritual objects.

With strong in-store storytelling and an expanding digital presence, Topdrawer is evolving into a quiet powerhouse in modern luxury retail.
