History
Over twenty years ago, before Origami Ink opened shop, the owners Jonathan and Cathie bought a framed art piece for their home that featured an origami frog. They loved this piece so much that it lead to the name of their retail space and still hangs in their house to this day. Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction, that included their store in Asheville, North Carolina. To support their recovery from this natural disaster, Retro51 presents the Origami Hopping Frogs Tornado Pen.
Each pen is printed with origami "hopping frogs" finished with a gloss varnish and polished chrome accents. They will be packaged in a matching tube and include instructions on how to make your own origami frog that literally hops! Although these are not numbered, this is a one-time order opportunity and will be limited to the quantity on order.

The Zen Of Fine Writing
Sad news, Friends... Our physical store in Biltmore Village has been completely destroyed. It's been devastating for us and has been emotionally hard to process or even get our minds around. The flood waters basically swirled all the way to the ceilings, smashing everything to bits and leaving everything coated in toxic mud.
During our transition we set up a "Current Offerings" shopping page where we are adding new items daily. If you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know and we'll arrange getting it to you, since it's likely that we have it but it's simply not up on our site yet. Keep checking back and you will find something new each time you do! We should have this temporary shopping page expanded to a complete website in the next month.
If any of you feel inclined, we have set up a Go Fund Me site for donations. Here is the link to that: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
