A SCHOOL FOR WHATEVER YOU’RE INTO

PREST is a small-batch stationery brand based in Manchester, UK. We make stationery inspired by the humble exercise book, a familiar school object we think deserves a second life. Not for homework or exams, but for whatever you happen to be interested in.

The night sky. Old buildings. Birds. How things are made. Foreign films. Good books. Strange objects. Local history. Whatever happens to catch your attention.

School might be behind you, but the desire to keep learning doesn’t have to be. PREST is a place to pick up new subjects, follow your interests and pursue ideas simply because they interest you.

There are no grades, exams or pressure to turn your hobbies into something productive. You can change subjects, follow a tangent, get things wrong and start again.

We issue the exercise books. You choose the subject.
