Seasonal Key Holder

Topdrawer designs tools for the impossibly creative.
Topdrawer was born in Tokyo and now operates 16 stunning stores across five major U.S. cities, with a growing direct-to-consumer luxury brand online. We serve a community of impossibly creative people with beautifully designed tools for living, traveling, and creating—fountain pens, notebooks, house shoes, small leather goods, sunglasses, bags, and ritual objects.

Our brand combines elevated Japanese design sensibility, European craft influences, and a uniquely personal retail experience that encourages presence, slowness, and intention. With strong in-store storytelling and an expanding digital presence, Topdrawer is evolving into a quiet powerhouse in modern luxury retail.
