Stone Marketing has added the Japanese stationery brand Anterique to its portfolio, extending its line-up with a range of slim, vintage-inspired pens.
Anterique was founded in Tokyo in 2019 and combines mid-century design influences with Japanese manufacturing. The brand's pens favour a slim, retro-leaning silhouette, with muted colours, clean lines and subtle detailing. Each pen uses an oil-blended ink that is designed to deliver a smooth writing experience.
Brand and product
The name Anterique blends the words "antique" and "technique". According to Stone Marketing, that pairing sums up the product: a classic, slim pen offered across a broad and varied range of colours.
Company comment
Hayley Ripley, head of marketing at Stone Marketing, said the business was excited to have Anterique join the family. She said the brand fits comfortably alongside its other Japanese stationery lines, and that appetite for Japanese stationery keeps growing.

The addition strengthens Stone Marketing's Japanese stationery offering, which already spans a number of makers, including, among others:
- Greeting Life Inc
- Iwako
- MD Product
- Midori
