An instant hit at our brick and mortar store in Amsterdam, this Penco 8 Colour Crayon. It has a bit of nostalga over it, reminding us those mulitcolor pens with a fruity scent. This 8 Colour Crayon, has not fruity smell, but does work with the same mechanism, of twisting and using a different colour.

The barrel is quite wide, making it easy for small hands to grasp it. Just be careful not to push out the crayons too far out; as they can break.

Penco at Misc-store Amsterdam

Penco is a brand by Japanese stationery mogul Hightide. Penco is inspired by a prototypical American hardware store, and as such they are introducing stationery items with a Americana retro feel. Designed in Japan, their range spans from notebooks, diaries to hardware tape dispensers. At Misc-store Amsterdam we have been great fans of the Penco Clipboards we have with a large gold clip. For Misc. Mini we just simply love their practical storage solutions and bold typography.

A new adventure with Misc Mini!
Here at Misc, we’ve got some exciting news: we’re starting a big new adventure by launching Misc Mini, our collection of kids’ stationery.

Learning to play as a child is a skill you keep your whole life. Through play, kids can learn to re-arrange and surprise; to turn things topsy-turvy and right way up! Whether they’re telling stories with princesses and goblins, or drawing fantastic faces in unexpected places, play helps kids to explore the world that we all occupy together.

All they need to get going is a bit of paper, some pencils and a little place to sit. To this end, we’ve hand-picked a range of great kids’ stationery, furniture and books, with an emphasis on high-quality materials and forms that are just right for the little ones among us.

Give them a great place to play — browse our entire Misc Mini collection online today!
