I am so glad I found this gem of a small business. Mia provided superb customer service with the kind of personal touch that you just don't get anymore. I will be a repeat customer and will recommend to anyone. Thanks so much for the beautiful paper and accessories. read more

Absolutely amazing store with beautiful papers and art supplies. I bought some paper made in Italy, pencils carved out of tree branches and my some of my favorite pencils, Palomino. A little pricey but eh, it's Pearl Street. read more

This used to be my wife's favorite store in Boulder but we were disgusted by the way a clerk treated a customer today. The customer lifted a candle in a glass jar that wasn't secured to the lid. It fell and the glass broke. The customer started to sweep the glass into a pile with her foot, and the clerk came running over and said, "you can't hide that!" The customer was not trying to hide anything and was only trying to clean the mess. The customer was very apologetic, but the clerk said, "You are going to pay for this." The poor customer was very flustered and agreed to pay for it. The clerk's attitude was ugly. We will never shop there again, read more

We worked with Casey on our wedding invitations and we couldn't be happier. She helped us through every step of the way and we created an invitation suite that is gorgeous. Casey is laid back, friendly and professional and made the process less overwhelming for which we were grateful (there are SO many options). Everyone at 2 hands is friendly and if you get your invitations here you won't be sorry. read more

Agree with many about poor service from snooty college girls. I requested some inserts for my filofax planner in March, and was told I'd be hearing back when the order came in. They finally called me in July! The paper is amazing, artful and unique books, and excellent writing tools. A+ place to find a special gift. Wish the staff would get a reality check. You're not on Rodeo Drive, your in Boulder! read more

I am in LOVE with this store. They have the most unusual cards, books and gifts I have ever seen. I am a huge card person, I go here every couple of weeks and buy way too many cards to keep on hand. Every time I give a gift, the card gets more attention then the present! read more

Fountain pens!!! Journals and notebooks!!! Great service!!! Done. This was my first visit to this fine store, so much fun. I bought enough notebooks to last me a year. Well worth a visit. read more

So I found this shop after taking the Copperplate Calligraphy two day course there. So this review is going to be of the shop itself as well as the calligraphy class as well. So first, the shop... It is gorgeous and well organized. The paper they sell is so beautiful and anyone looking for some great quality paper will love this place. When I first walked in I had to kind of look around the shop on my own in order to find where the class was being held (it's in the back "Paper Room," if you end up taking it and need to know). I was not greeted by any associates but part of me likes that... I like the freedom to browse and look and not be approached continuously by associates but I suppose one initial greeting would have been nice especially considering I had a question and was running a bit late. Also, the shop carries extremely limited amounts of calligraphy paper which didn't really make sense to me. If you are going to host a calligraphy class, it's probably a profitable idea to have all the supplies there so participants can purchase on the spot (which I would have done if the shop stocked the recommended paper). The instructor Megan DID sell individual calligraphy units and kits (that were extremely well priced and I think she accepted cash and check so if you think you'll want one be sure to bring cash/check) but not paper which I don't fault her for at all. I would assume the paper store the class is being held at would carry calligraphy paper but they really don't. Megan DOES give you all the paper and supplies you need for the actual class but if you are looking for a pad of calligraphy paper to use at home you may not find one at Two Hands. We were told they might start selling it soon but it was not in stock when I was there. Also, parking for the course was not terrible and I managed to pay $0 on parking for the entire weekend. I parked in the neighborhood behind the store on Saturday when parking still had a fee and I just parked in the metered area on Sunday as the meter is not running on Sunday. I would recommend arriving early so you can work on the parking situation and get to class on time! Next on to the class review. WOW! I never knew there was SO much that went into calligraphy. The instructor Megan was extremely patient and kind and never took anything too seriously which I really appreciated because I really struggled through some elements of the course and that light-hearted humor from her really helped me to relax and focus on technique. She is very knowledgable on the history of calligraphy and an EXTREMELY talented calligrapher. The ONLY downside to this class were the small, shaky little stools that we sat on for the 5 1/2 hours. The class went from 11am-4:30pm for two continuous days and by the end of the class my back, neck, and butt were killing me. I found it really hard to relax and focus on the technique when my little stool kept shaking and moving every time I would adjust my grip on my nib and holder. When I got home at the end of the two days and tried my calligraphy in a comfortable, stable chair, I found I improved substantially. The class filled up quickly so if you are thinking of joining in I would recommend getting in on the action as soon as you know of the class opening. I was encouraged to bring a smock which I only used the first day and as I got more comfortable and less nervous around the ink I took the smock off. Also, the class size was limited to 6 people which was great because we all got individual attention (which I really needed LOL). Overall, if you are looking to get into calligraphy and want a fun and relaxed environment to try it out in I really do recommend this class with Megan! read more

Stopped in this last week with my boyfriend who regularly orders paper through this adorable little shop to check it out. The paper selection is great, Mia was very helpful & happily answered some questions questions I had about an upcoming project. More than a paper shop with a knowledgable staff able to advise on whatever the project might be. read more

I love stationery. And ink. And pens. So a store that carries these items, in combination or solo, will catch my eye. While on a brief tour of Boulder one Saturday, we had just enough time to run into Two Hands Paperie. The store grabs all the senses as you walk in, with plenty of eye-catching items to draw your attention. They have a small collection of pens, Retro 51 and Esterbrook among them (fountain pen, ballpoint and rollerball). The regular prices didn't strike me as a fantastic deal, but the sale try offered some good options. The stationery and notebook/journal collection was very promising; I didn't have time to give it a thorough perusal, but I did grab a box of 100 postcards that will come in handy in February. They also had 3-4 ink brands including Iroshizuku and the new Private Reserve, behind the counter. All that, and there was another huge room of paper, art supplies, and just cool stuff to marvel over. Unfortunately, we had to hurry back to our driver, so, a more in-depth study will have to wait for my next visit to Boulder. Pearl St. seems to have lots of places to shop; don't miss this one. read more

An adorable paperie stuck on the corner of Pearl with everything you could ever want in the paper department. Stationery, notebooks, invitations, craft paper, stickies, pens, art books, note cards, journals, calendars, wedding paper - everything is beautiful and lovingly selected from around the world for your papering delights. Come here and get your paper fix and send some real mail once in a while. It makes a difference. read more

You don't have to be into paper products to find this place to be rockin! They have an amazing selection of paper, cards, invitations, writing instruments. I doubt its cheap but the selection and quality is hard to beat. I had a positive experience with the employees. read more

If you don't know about this shop, you've been missing out!!! But I'll warn you - if you stop by, you may get a 2 Hands addiction. Pens, ink, fabulous hand-made papers, journals, unusual art supplies, Great Kids gifts, weird pencils and erasers, and now stickers!! I take all friends from out-of-town here on our tours of Boulder. If you're from out-of-town and you stop by, you may need to come back just for this shop. 2 Hands is the best of Boulder! I give it two hands in the air. read more

Nice shop, unique gifts and cards. They have a nice selection of writing instruments as well.

Wow totally pretentious and unfriendly staff. I was in there for about 20 minutes and no one bothered to even say hello or ask if I needed help. They were out of what I needed and I ended up looking around at other things. An older lady behind the front counter said 'goodbye have a great night' to an a white gentlemen who was walking past to leave store, but didn't even bother to look up as I passed right in front of her. This was the same woman who rudely closed their front door on me several nights prior, saying "sorry we are closing" when it was 2 minutes before their posted hour. I said I only wanted to buy a specific journal for class. She told me they open up 'same hours tomorrow' but I live in Longmont and have a very limited schedule. Don't you want business? Or only from a certain 'type' of customer? This kind of store underscores Boulder's white, extremely affluent, privileged and arrogant nexus. I am an educated Latina and am always aware when I am treated differently. Won't ever purchase my notebooks here again for grad school. read more

We ordered our wedding invitations from Two Hands Paperie and could not be happier! They helped us pick out the perfect customized invitations that fit within our budget. Everyone there went above and beyond to ensure that we were pleased with the final result. And we were! Our invitations are beautiful, and we cannot wait to send them out. Simply put, Two Hands Paperie was a joy to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend them! read more

I came to Two Hands with barely an idea for an invitation. They dedicated a large amount of time to creating the perfect concept, and made sure I had everything I needed to make my project a huge success. Additionally, they worked within my level of comfort as to how much of the project I felt able to tackle myself, and how much I needed assistance for. The artistic talent is top notch! read more

Had the pleasure of taking a Letterpress card class with Mia (the owner) and can't think of a better way to spend my afternoon....the class was small and very informative...informal and so much fun! This woman knows PAPER and the magic of creating beautiful works of art! Wish Two Hands Paperie was in Denver but will make the trek to Boulder anytime for another great class!! read more

These ladies are awesome. Casey was so helpful with my wedding invitation and going back and forth for wedding supplies. Such a cute store, with great unique products! Everyone should check it out. read more

i love this store. it is SO cute and caters to the girly aspect of my personality. think high quality stationary, DIY and personal tokens for the crafty type. i purchased all of the materials i used to make my own wedding invitations and got lots of compliments on the paper i used! i also love that they hold classes to teach locals how to make certain crafts! a wonderful place to stop by and peruse if you are in the area! read more

Wide selection of beautiful, unique products. Loads of journals, special cards, and wrapping paper. Artsy tape, paper clips and rubber bands. This is a great place to go for gifts. read more

I absolutely love this shop! The selection of wrapping paper and stationary is ridiculous, plus calendars, cards, and journals that will be hard to find elsewhere. Normally, I consider a lot of similar shop prices over-the-top but this selection is worth every bit. And they have a ribbon station, too! What sealed the deal for me were all of the vintage options: paper, envelopes, stamps. The location is just terrific...yes, Pearl St but on the quiet end, next to a chocolatier. read more

This place is a treasure. Unusual paper of all kinds,beautiful notebooks,stationery,cards,guest books collected with imagination and taste but mainly helpful and creative staff to help pull it together. I am craft challenged and my most recent purchase was a guest book for a baby shower which Tiffany helped me to personalize with great attention to detail.pay them a visit!! read more

The ladies at 2 hands paperie really outdid themselves with letting me draft my bachelor letters in their store with a typewriter. Mia, Tiffany and Lauren were so courteous and helpful. They final product was just perfect!! read more

Fun, artsy, helpful staff and a stuffed to the brim with cool stuff yet breathable atmosphere. I've taken a class here and hope to take more in the future. It was instructive yet free and friendly good time. If I had more money it'd go to this place! Awesome for gift giving as well. read more

I ordered my wedding invitations through Two Hands and it was a wonderful process. The staff is knowledgable and unbelievably helpful. We had such excellent customer service! Our invitations came in this week, and they are perfect. Thank you for working so hard to make the first look at our wedding perfect. We can't say enough good things about Two Hands Paperie! read more

maybe we caught the woman who "helped" us on a bad day, but the service was awful. i felt like we were bothering the woman and she could care less if we gave the store our business. aside from that, they do have awesome paper and cards, stationary, etc. read more
