Passenger — Local services in Evanston Township

As a long time fan of the Chicago "sister shop" Five Elements Home, I was so excited to check out Passenger. Yaoyu and his team have done it again - creating a welcoming, and simply beautiful space full of unique goods you won't find anywhere else. For a paper shop, the art supplies, notebooks, and wrapping paper are fantastic, but I especially love the inclusion of incense, jewelry, ceramics, and lighting - each with their own connections to wood or paper. Passenger is a great place to go pick out a unique gift, or a treat for yourself! Well worth a trip to Evanston if you don't...

Such a cute little stationary store! The employees here are super nice, full of energy, and knowledgeable about their products. I got a really cute journal, some cards, and authentic matcha powder from here. I've almost filled up my journal and I'm going to have to come back soon for another! Coming here inspired me to journal and write again and I'm so happy for that. I can't wait to see what new products they get in the next...
