Stone Marketing has added the Japanese stationery brand Anterique to its portfolio, widening its line-up with a range of slim, vintage-inspired pens.
Founded in Tokyo in 2019, Anterique combines mid-century design influences with Japanese manufacturing. Its pens are marked by muted colours, clean lines and subtle detailing, and each is filled with an oil-blended ink that is designed to deliver a smooth writing experience. The muted palette and slim profile are presented as core features of the line.
Hayley Ripley, head of marketing at Stone Marketing, said the company was excited to welcome Anterique, adding that the label fits closely with its other Japanese stationery brands and that affection for Japanese stationery keeps growing. According to Ripley, the name blends "antique" and "technique", which she said sums up the product well: a classic, slim pen offered in an appealing range of colours.
The addition reinforces Stone Marketing's Japanese stationery offering. That stable already includes Greeting Life Inc, Iwako, MD Product, Midori, mt masking tape, New Retro, Tombow, Traveler's Company and Yup.
By bringing Anterique in, the company continues to build a portfolio weighted towards Japanese labels, adding a design-led pen line alongside its established ranges.
