About Me

The Desk Set has provided San Francisco with classic and contemporary stationery, invitations and gifts for over 35 years at the same location. The store changed hands for only the second time in 2005. The new owners have revived the store, remodeling the interior and updating its offerings while retaining the values and services that have made the store continuously successful. If you have not been by lately, we invite you over to meet the new staff and owners, peruse a carefully curated selection of products and view our custom books to find stationery or an invitation that is perfect and unique.
