While the Vancouver shop is an ode to the 1960s office aesthetic (filled with filing cabinets and typewriters), the Victoria outpost is a grander showcase for its paper wares. Dating back to the 1890s, the space was once a hotel and is now a functioning office building. The interior is fitted out with original dark wood wainscoting, accordion doors and intricate tiling. Fedoruk, who grew up in Victoria, remembers what is now the lobby store as a newsstand in the 1980s and 90s. “It seemed entirely fitting that this little space would soon be full of paper once again,” she wrote in a tribute for the shop’s 10th anniversary.
