About Masterwort
One of our passions is to introduce the artisans products, and those very delicate well made products with less industrial finishing. We have been working with stationery brands mostly from Europe.
One of our most important missions is to share the unique knowledge of each brand based on their history, craftsmanship. and our own personal experience with the writing community. Like the symbolic meaning of ‘Masterwort’ flower, strong and brave, We hope the brands we are collaborating with will gain strong adaptability in China and be rooted in the local market here.
Masterwort began as a team of stationery enthusiasts and professionals based in Shanghai and Hangzhou in 2016. Hangzhou is where the beautiful Westernlocated, the place often gathered with artists from all over the country, and Shanghai is one of the prominent trading centers in China.
