Our story
Fifteen years of
finding the right pen.
In 2008, Clara Whitmore opened a single stationery shop on Market Street, Manchester. She stocked 12 shelves, had one conviction — that the physical act of writing and drawing still mattered deeply — and gave the place a name that said everything: a Quest.
Today that quest spans 47 stores and over three thousand products. Every buying decision still asks the same question: is this the best thing of its kind, at a price that doesn't punish curiosity? If the answer is no, it doesn't go on the shelf.
