Topdrawer: The Global Architect of "The Polar Opposite of Fast Fashion" Founded as a collaboration between Boston-based entrepreneur Peter Dunn and Akira Ito (fourth-generation owner of Itoya, Japan’s premier stationery house), Topdrawer (topdrawershop.com) is the premier omnichannel design and lifestyle anchor for high-density, "creative class" neighborhood corridors. Headquartered in Boston and Tokyo, the brand enters 2026 as a leading force in "Longevity Retail," specializing in high-performance tools for creative professionals including house shoes, fountain pens, and archival-quality notebooks. The 2026 guest experience—defined by a "part-gallery, part-workshop" philosophy—rejects mass-market transactions in favor of ritual-based discovery. For landlords, Topdrawer represents a high-loyalty, credit-stable tenant (backed by the institutional strength of Itoya) that drives consistent, high-AOV foot traffic to "Neighborhoods with Soul," enhancing the cultural and intellectual profile of a development.
