Meet the Papel Arcano Team

Welcome to the whimsical world of Papel Arcano, where stationery dreams come true and our team is as colorful as the gel pens we sell (and trust us, we have some real show-stoppers)! Let’s dive into the delightful duo that keeps this place running smoother than a freshly inked pen on premium paper.

    Owner

    Jack is a Hispanic/Latine, LGBTQ+ entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for beautiful stationery and the stories that each item holds.

    When Jack isn’t busy curating the finest selection of stationery, you can find them sipping on a cup of coffee, battling pixelated foes in their favorite videogame, or taking long, contemplative strolls with their trusty sidekick, Pepita. Spoiler alert: those walks are mostly Jack trying to keep up with Pepita’s snazzy pace!

    Store Mascot (Official) & Assistant Store Manager (Unofficial)

    Now, let’s talk about the real star of the show—Pepita! This furry bundle of joy is not just the store mascot; she’s also the Assistant Store Manager (in her dreams, at least). An honorary Hispanic/Latine, LGBTQIA+ entrepreneur, Pepita has a lifelong passion for one thing: food! And by food, we mean stealing it, hoarding it, and generally getting into all sorts of culinary mischief.

    Pepita’s love for bread is legendary (seriously, she could probably win a bread-eating contest), and her biscuit-making skills are top-notch—though we suspect she might just be a little too good at making a mess instead. And let’s not even mention her aversion to long walks with Jack; let’s just say they’re more of a “short sprint to the nearest snack” kind of duo!
