In 2002, when Harvey retired, his daughter, Joan, and her husband, Phil, decided to open a new store and go in a new direction; they set out to create their “dream” store. “We were driving home on the 405 one night, talking about a special place where pens and papers are sold together in a totally unique way … where people will enjoy spending time.” Phil remembers it well. Keeping with the family tradition of a Westwood village location, Joan and Phil created Flax Pen to Paper on Gayley Avenue. The store is a glass and wood architectural masterpiece where light floods in and walls of color tantalize your senses. The pleasurable surroundings lead up to what rests within the elegant cases: some of the most exquisite pens in the world, with models for everyone from serious collectors to students. In 2020, Phil and Joan entrusted the store to their friend, Jeremy Saumure (near to his 5th year “Flaxiversary”), who works with Jeremy Schuster, Gabriela Acevides-Mendez and Ryan Finnegan to serve you and source unique items to keep you visiting and patronizing Flax Pen To Paper.
