10 Makers to Watch in 2025

Stationery Trends’ Editor-in-Chief Sarah Schwartz created the 16th installment of Makers to Watch. Introduced back in 2010, she created the list to bring attend to those who bring excitement to the stationery category. Last year, Sarah changed its name from “designers” to “makers” to reflect the evolving lingo, and for several years now, each frontispiece is generated by a maker featured in the previous year.
