Follow the Stamp Caravan USA 2025 – Paper and Grace, Oblation, M. Lovewell, FLAX Pen to Paper, and MONO

Come along with the TRAVELER’S COMPANY Stamp Caravan and its tour around the United States this year! TRAVELER’S notebook is all about travelers with a free spirit. When we are visiting places, new or old, it is important for us to always view our surroundings with a fresh perspective. Even in towns or streets that you’ve walked countless times, there may be events or occasions that make the moment extraordinary. With your TRAVELER’S notebook in hand, we encourage you to note down and capture those feelings in your everyday life.

TRAVELER’S COMPANY started in Japan but has ventured out to different corners of the world over the years, collecting new experiences and fresh points of view. We oiled our wheels and set up the wagons of our Stamp Caravan to different cities, hoping that we could bring a piece of the TRAVELER’S spirit to fans. At our home base at TRAVELER’S FACTORY stores in Japan, you will find stamps that commemorate your leg of the journey. At your local Stamp Caravan event, we brought the traveling stamps with us to leave a mark in your notebooks.
