Tools to Live By: Vintage Meets Modern Craft

Founded by Karen Yang in Taiwan, Tools to Live By started as a stationery store but evolved into creating their own minimalist brass designs for those who truly love pen and paper. They specialize in recreating vintage 19th and 20th century designs—from their iconic brass scissors to fountain pens and paper clips—turning everyday tools into moments of quiet pleasure for people who care about the small details in daily life.
