Blackwing X Independent Bookstore Pencils: 5th Edition

Blackwing has once again partnered with Independent Bookstore Day to release a limited edition pencil for 2025—marking the fifth year of this highly anticipated collaboration. Created exclusively for independent bookshops, this annual edition has developed a loyal following, with each year’s release eagerly awaited by collectors and stationery enthusiasts alike.

This year’s design takes inspiration from the timeless charm of independent bookshops and the printed word, with a distinctive pattern, deep green palette, and gold detailing. Each pencil is made from genuine incense-cedar and features Blackwing’s signature firm graphite, ideal for both writing and sketching.

Packaged in a beautifully designed box of 12, this edition is available in limited quantities and only through independent retailers.
