Papergang is a monthly stationery subscription box from quirky UK design team, Ohh Deer. Each month they partner with a different artist and have a theme to bring you paper goods and desk accessories.
They always have really stellar packaging designed specially each month, and the back has a paper cut out craft designed by Daniel Randle.

Large Pencil Case - Listed Value $17.15 USD
EEEEEEEEK! I adore a good pencil pouch and this one is HUGE measuring at about 10" long, about 2" wide, and 3" high. I really like the PVC coated cotton that it's made from which would protect the rest of your bag contents in the event of a pen explosion, and also make for easy clean up of smudges along the way. The design features teal brush strokes against a white background with a black zipper and light grey lining. This pouch could easily be used as a makeup bag because of its size, or even a small toiletry case.
Washi Tape - Listed Value $3.31 USD
I am really enjoying this washi tape design and appreciate how it compliments the marbled designs, but is slightly different. This tape is perfect for hanging up last month's riso printed August calendar, or sealing this month's greeting card.
"A Tree Can Make Approximately 300,000 Pencils" Pencil - Listed Value $0.66 USD
Wow- I feel like 300,000 pencils is a ton, but also how much space does that take up? I guess there are a whole lot less being made these days with computers taking over, so at least the trees are getting a bit of a break. I love the teal color of this pencil against the black eraser and gold metal and lettering.
"Hooray!" Card - Listed Value $3.31 USD
The same beautiful pink and blue marbled motif of the box this month splashes on to this celebratory greeting card. Also designed by Ohh Deer themselves, you can use this rose gold foiled note to congratulate a dear friend on their latest accomplishment. I love that there are rose gold flecks among the pink marble as well. Subtle!
Riso Printed Calendar - No listed value
The Riso Printed Calendar this month has the same pattern as the pencil case but is printed in a bold blue.
Verdict: Papergang really knocked me out with this awesome pencil case! It's exactly the kind of thing I'd want to receive from a subscription box like this. The washi tape, greeting card, and pencil were all so beautifully designed as well. After converting to USD, the items totaled over $24 which is still above the total cost of the box which is $20.53. I think their style is right up my alley and I will continue to be excited as each new box arrives. Especially because...August Spoiler Alert! I'm so excited that they announced August's illustrator: Gemma Correll! I love Gemma's drawings and I'm sure many of you recognize her cute style of drawing.
