Madison + PAGE

This place is amazing. There's stiff competition in this town for stationery stores with Reid's and Recess. However, I really think the service and pen selection are what sets this place apart. I came in today and asked to dip test a Lamy 2000. The owner didn't hesitate to pull one out and let me test it, despite the fact that this can be a frustrating pen to clean after dip testing. I bought the Lamy 2000 minutes later and I stayed to chat. The service was exceptional.Now the pens... No one carries pens like this place. Period. The selection is amazing and the owner never hesitated to let me try out a pen or hold this or look at that. It's difficult to run a brick and mortar store these days when shopping online is so convenient. But service like this place offers makes shopping in-store painless.Come and chat. You'll love it. If it's fine writing pens or service you're after this is the place.

Great selection of pens, ink , paper and related goodies. Very friendly and helpful. My favourite Calgary stationery store.

A stationary lover's dream! The selection is huge for a tiny shop, the staff is extremely knowledgeable + friendly, and they have so many things I've never seen at other stationary stores. I definitely recommend stopping in and saying goodbye to your money haha

Checked Madison+PAGE out due to recommendation from a stationary (read: pen) enthusiast. I was very impressed. Large selection of products, but even better and more rare today was the expedient, polite and efficient customer service. Shelley was awesome in addressing my questions and concerns, will definitely be back to do business again.

What a treat it was to visit this little store! The owner is very passionate and knowledgeable about pens and inks, and will let you test out fountain pens so you can get a feeling for what sort of nib suits you. She’s created swatches of the many inks she carries, which is so much better than trying to guess how they’ll behave by looking at the colour on the box. The store is full of lots of quality items. A great place to find a gift or to spoil yourself!

Wonderful store with amazing customer service! I ordered online to prepare for our trip to Calgary. Unfortunately one of the items I ordered was incorrectly inventoried as in stock when it was in actuality unavailable. Shelly immediately responded to me via email to let me know of the error and offered to allow me to order it when it was back in stock with complimentary shipping. When I got to the store to pick up my remaining items, I was greeted with familiarity and had a pleasant little chat. I definitely will continue to visit this shop, either online or in person, even though its location is somewhat difficult (being in the busy downtown area) since there is such a wonderful selection of imported fountain pen inks and the amazing and friendly customer service. I highly recommend this store to any fountain pen enthusiast, if you are in or visiting the Calgary area!

It was my first time shopping at Madison + Page and my experience was great!The lady that was helping me was friendly and very knowledgeable and helped me finding a beautiful Graf Von Faber Castell pen for my husband.My husband loved the pen and I am happy with the shopping experience and will certainly be back again.Thank you!

I had such a great experience while buying a pen for my husband. The lady who helped me was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure to only showed me pens within my budget (which I appreciate a lot). I’d recommend this shop to anyone who wants a pen, stationary or unique gifts.

An excellent all round experience. Extremely happy with both the product and the customer service. The owner is a lovely woman and very knowledgeable.

Called the store to ask if they had electronic gift cards, Shelley was not only extremely rude when she told me they do not provide electronic gift cards but she was condescending.When I asked her why they dont have them, her response was thats just how we work". When I further pressed about how that is leaving money on the table her response was "yeah well
