The paper bag that's actually porcelain. Pen holder, small vase, or desktop sculpture — one playful object.
Why This Exists
The Penco Brown Bag Stand is inspired by the humble brown paper bags you'd get at American liquor stores — crumpled, casual, unpretentious. Except this one's made from porcelain and designed to live permanently on your desk as a pen holder, a bud vase, or simply a small piece of everyday art.
It's quintessential Penco — nostalgic Americana filtered through Japanese design sensibility. The wrinkled texture, the kraft paper colour, even the playful message printed on the base — everything about it feels intentional yet effortless. Compact enough to fit anywhere, substantial enough to feel like a proper object. Because your desk tools deserve better than boring plastic cups.
What Makes It Good
Porcelain construction — looks like paper, feels like ceramic, lasts forever
Realistic paper bag texture — wrinkled finish and kraft colour captured in porcelain
Multi-purpose design — works as pen holder, small vase, or decorative object
Compact footprint — fits on crowded desks without taking over
Hand-fired uniqueness — each piece varies slightly in colour, logo density, and finish
Playful branding — witty message on the base, pure Penco character
Who This Is For
Perfect for anyone who wants their desk accessories to have personality. Ideal for pen enthusiasts, minimalist desk setups, or as a thoughtful gift for colleagues, friends, or stationery lovers who appreciate objects with charm.

Beautiful and functional products. Have ordered twice and will again soon.

Amazing!!!!! there is nothing like this store in Hamilton or even Auckland, speciality stationery and so much of it is Japanese, my fav! Very cute store. Penco, Midori, Supreme, Moleskine, etc. inside an old fashioned arcade, easy enough to find.

Tom stocks some of the best quality and designed stationary products you can find in New Zealand. His customer service is also top draw and excellent. I had a few issues with a pen I had bought, Tom offered some tips to help work through and after that didn’t work he offered some store credit to try something else. I would highly recommend and will be making sure to buy as much of my stationary products as possible from SuperKiosk in the future! Keep up the great work Tom!

Such a great find! Love their range - quality stationery you don’t see everywhere. Service was awesome—ordered at night, shipped the next morning, and arrived the day after. Will definitely shop here again.
If it skips, scratches, or feels like background utility, we don't stock it. Every tool in this kiosk has earned its place on our desks before it reached yours.
