Paper Republic Arrives at 26 Market, Alongside New Pieces from The Superior Labor
At 26 Market, every brand we bring in begins with a simple question: does this truly belong in the lives of our community?
Over time, we’ve heard the quiet requests: for different formats, for more flexibility, for leather pieces that adapt to the way you journal, plan, travel, and work. We wanted to expand thoughtfully, without losing the standard of craftsmanship we offer.
That’s what led us to Paper Republic.
Founded in Vienna, Paper Republic creates vegetable-tanned leather journals and accessories designed to evolve with their owner. Their pieces aren’t meant to stay pristine, they’re meant to soften, darken, and carry the marks of daily life. The more you use them, the more they become yours.
With that in mind, we carefully selected a few core pieces from Paper Republic that offer versatility, structure, and room to grow with you.
The Grand Voyageur is perhaps the most versatile of the collection. Designed to hold multiple refills at once, it allows you to combine planning, journaling, and note-taking within a single leather cover. It adapts to your routine whether that’s daily writing, travel documentation, or long-term planning including XL&A5 and A4, and in thoughtfully selected colors such as Cognac, Venezia, and Natural, allowing you to choose the format and tone that best fits your pace of life.
Le Portfolio offers a more structured silhouette. Refined and composed, it’s well-suited for meetings, creative sessions, or anyone who prefers a clean and elevated format. This piece is also available in A5 and A4, and in classic shades like Chestnut, Petrol Blue, Cognac, Red, and Black, keeping the palette timeless and versatile.
For those who prefer something compact, the Card & Cash Holder keeps essentials close without excess. It pairs naturally with the journal system, creating a cohesive everyday carry.
Beyond leather covers, we also offer flexibility with the Timeless Weekly Planner which offers structure without pressure.Because it’s undated, you can begin at any time of the year, pause when needed, and return whenever you’re ready, just simply fill in the dates yourself.
Available in XL, it fits the Grand Voyageur in XL and Le Portfolio in A5.
For those planning ahead, the 2026 Weekly Notebook Planner balances structure. You can choose between:
Weekly layout - A full week across two pages with equal space for each day (Available only in XL)
Week & Notes layout - The week on the left, dotted notes on the right for added freedom (available in XL and A4)
And the Ribbon KIT adds a subtle but thoughtful detail, a simple way to mark your place, organize sections, or add a quiet accent to your pages.
The Book Refill x The Dybdahl Co. series introduces beautifully printed covers created in collaboration with The Dybdahl Co. Available in XL and A4, fitting Grand Voyageur in XL and Le Portfolio formats.
And sometimes, simplicity is all you need. We also have the Set of 2 Notebook Refills with high-quality acid-free paper suited for ballpoint, gel and rollerball pens. Available in XL and A4, these are designed as inserts for Grand Voyageur and Le Portfolio.

New Arrivals from The Superior Labor
Alongside Paper Republic, we’re also welcoming new arrivals from The Superior Labor, a brand that has been part of 26 Market since the beginning.
Founded in Japan, The Superior Labor is known for its small-batch production and hands-on craftsmanship. Each piece is made with careful attention to material, construction, and longevity designed not just to look good, but to be used daily.
The Leather Zip Case – Stamped Series is a collector favorite. Compact yet substantial, it works beautifully as a pen case, small pouch, or organizer for everyday essentials. The stamped detailing gives each piece subtle character, and as with all good leather, it only becomes richer over time.
The See Through Mini Tote offers something slightly different, practical, lightweight, and distinctive. It’s ideal for café days, quick errands, or carrying your everyday tools without overcomplicating things.
And the Paraffin Canvas Pen Case is crafted from durable paraffin canvas, the exterior is lightweight yet resilient and is designed to age beautifully with everyday use. Inside, an interior pocket with a protective leather flap provides a secure space for fountain pens and other delicate writing instruments.
Paper Republic and the latest arrivals from The Superior Labor are now available in-store at 26 Market and online. We invite you to experience them in person to feel the weight of the leather, see the craftsmanship up close, and choose the piece that fits naturally into your routine.
We hope you’ll find yours at 26 Market.
