Did you know that Etc.Store originally started as an in-joke ("extra The Completist") before it became its own store? Our tiny stationery store featured a smidge of our favourite homeware brands from other makers. When the opportunity came to expand to a separate homeware store just across the alley, it was meant to be - and here we are.

But now the Etc universe is expanding. Our small but mighty stationery store is tripling its space, and becoming Etc.Paper. It'll have the original The Completist paper goodness, plus so much more:

⦿ More stationery brands. And they won't be your usual ones. We have our eye on some brands we've loved for a really long time from all over the world that we can almost guarantee you haven't seen before.

⦿ Curated bookstore space. We're acquiring quite the collection from independent publishers and hard-to-find titles that we can't wait to share (let's just say you won't find airport books here).

⦿ Our very own coffee bar. Because how perfect while you're looking through the books, right? Plus, a multibrand store with a coffee bar just feels right. Especially one where you could have your daily coffee with Peckham's most desirable celebrity cat duo, Marmalade & Dadelade.

⦿ New Etc.Lates events programme. This is something we've wanted to do for ages but couldn't quite work out how. Weird crafts, talks, brand launches, book clubs. We're already in planning mode and finally get to share this with you in a new space!

So once you've checked out some great homeware, you can pop next door for books, coffee, and the odd cool event too. A one-stop shop for gifts and lifestyle in the heart of Peckham. And we need your help to get there.

Donate to our crowdfunder here.

What's in it for you? Merch, rewards, and the perfect amount of bragging rights that you helped add to Peckham's thriving creative community.

And those aren't the only rewards up for grabs. We've got store credit (either online or in store) for either locations, consultation sessions with our Creative Director, and even 1 free coffee per week for an entire year (looking at you locals!).

Every donation big or small helps us evolve our new space. And if you can't pledge, even a share counts towards it too. How cool is that?
