Stop The Clock Design

Stop The Clock Design was born in 2008 when two university friends—bonded by a shared obsession with surface pattern and design—decided to turn their passion into a business. With little more than a kettle, a ton of biscuits, and big ideas, they set up shop in a humble garden shed and began sketching the foundations of what would become a beloved stationery brand.

What started as late-night doodles quickly gained momentum. Today, Stop The Clock Design stands as an award-winning British studio, celebrated for its distinctive, quirky, design-led stationery that combines a modern edge with timeless charm.

At the core of Stop The Clock Design’s collection lies a vibrant array of greeting cards. Hand-drawn illustrations span playful canines in party hats, abstract surface patterns, and more. Each design is thoughtfully crafted to suit every occasion—from birthdays and heartfelt thank-yous and “just because” moments—offering shop owners a selection that truly resonates with their customers.
