ABOUT

biography of Thistle and Bard

At Thistle and Bard, we believe in the magic of fairytales!

We are a women-led business situated on the Norfolk Coast of the UK, home to Boudicca, pirates, and for over 100 years the main port to the East! It's no wonder that we make some of the most beautiful fairytale stationery around when you're surrounded by so much incredible inspiration.

We established ourselves in 2020 with a small line of dragon-inspired stationery supplies, a theme that remains among our top sellers to this day. Despite the challenges of the world, we've grown considerably (almost 400%) in the last few years and in 2024 we opened a selection of our ranges to wholesale.

We have a strong belief that beautiful stationery and gifts like ours, needn't cost our planet to produce and actively seek out manufacturers that are local, and especially ones that employ carbon-neutral materials like soy-based inks and use recycled products like reconstituted acrylic and recycled fibers. We love that we can offer this to our customers and be one small step towards preserving our world for the future.
