Sostrene Grene Back to School

It’s hard to believe it, but summer is on its last legs, and August is here already.

I don’t mind so much though – having always loved that crisp, fresh autumn and back-to-school vibe, I tend to look forward to this time every year – even though it is a while now since I was going to back to school.

There is something about normality returning again, though, after the long, carefree days of summer. Suddenly I start looking forward to a bit of structure again. Planning my meals, planning the shopping, getting stuck into work and projects again – and nothing will put you in the mood for all that like some new, pretty stationary, no?

And right now, Søstrene Grene has just dropped their Back to School collection – and guys – it is gorgeous. And with prices starting at less than €1 sure we have no excuse not to.

Ready to start the new (school) year? We are obsessed with the pretty and practical bits, such as notebooks, writing tools and accessories – all designed to create the perfect work environment at your desk at home or in school.

From laptop and tablet cases, to pens, markers, post-its, notebooks, folders, pencil cases, rubbers, stickers, bullet journal accessories – you’ll pretty much find anything you need at Søstrene Grene right now.

We also love all the clever desk storage ideas – perfect for keeping things nice and tidy. The foldable baskets are ideal for storing anything from markers to stickers or papers, and keep your pencils in order in cute containers. 

Green footprint

For students heading off to college and kids going back to school, we reckon everyone will find what they need, and we love how all Søstrene Grene’s stationery paper products are FSC®-certified.

What this means, is by choosing these products, you are supporting responsible management of the world’s forests.

Support girls’ education in East Africa

Søstrene Grene also introduces a new selection of products for the upcoming school and study season, in collaboration with Plan International.

By purchasing these products, you contribute to the support of girls’ education in East Africa. Discover the popular Plan International tote bag in three new designs, made of organic cotton, and two notebooks in similar designs.

For each tote bag sold, Søstrene Grene donates €0.67 to the important cause, and €0.40 for each notebook.
