About

Welcome to Appointed—an American-made brand of everyday, elevated paper products designed to spark creativity and help you put your best foot forward.

It began with a Notebook—when an exhaustive search for high-quality paper products manufactured in the U.S. came up empty, we decided to make our own. Since 2015, we've set out to elevate and upgrade your desktop with American-made, environmentally conscious products that are thoughtfully designed, stylishly simple, and built for utility.

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Our aim is simple: to create products you'll use well and hold on to, while prioritizing sustainability in every aspect of our production—from raw materials to packaging. Partnering with U.S. manufacturers who share these values, sourcing locally to lessen our carbon footprint, and choosing 100% curbside-recyclable packaging are among the steps we've taken to ensure Appointed products are friendlier to our planet.

Our Paper—we've partnered with a U.S. paper mill that shares our emphasis on sustainability. Our paper is made with 2/3 renewable energy, more than half of which is made on-site with renewable biomass and zero-emission hydroelectric. Plus, it's acid and chlorine-free, meaning it's friendlier to our waterways.

Our Bookcloth—one of our core materials, our water-resistant cotton bookcloth is also American-made, meaning it has a lower shipping impact and is compliant with the latest EPA standards and guidelines. The majority of our bookcloth is 100% cotton and completely biodegradable, odor-free, and pH neutral.

Our Packaging—starting in 2021, we've completely overhauled our packaging to incorporate biodegradable, renewable, and 100% curbside-recyclable materials—meaning no more bubble wrap. Plus, we've eliminated single-use plastic where we can.

Design, Function, Quality—these values have been a part of our story from the very beginning.

Meet Suann Song, Founder & CEO of Appointed. Initially a graphic designer by trade with a public relations and marketing background, it’s not surprising that the longtime paper lover was always in search of the perfect notebook—American-made, minimalist-yet-chic, and sustainably-minded. What is surprising? The perfect notebook didn’t exist. Instead of settling, Suann set out to create it herself.

After 18 months of research and one (extremely) successful Kickstarter campaign, the Asian-American, female-founded brand launched with their signature product, The Notebook. Six years later, Appointed is proud to offer a suite of desktop and paper goods and support an ever-growing team of talented people. Appointed brings together Suann’s love of paper, organization, and beautiful design to create products that enrich and inspire everyday moments.
