We asked Top Hat, one of our favorite little gift shops in Manhattan, to curate a special collection of desk accessories just for us—consider it our back-to-school wish list that you don't have to be in school to enjoy. Nina Allen, the shop's mastermind, is somewhat of a retail sleuth, searching out authentically made (and often off-the-wall) finds from around the globe. This blank notebook with a cool cover photo graphic comes courtesy of French designer Patricia Dore'.
