The collection includes a new line of organizing products and accessories such as Discbound™ notebooks, message boards, folders, and Stack + Fit ^® storage solutions. The new product, which has been available since June, features beautiful new patterns, gold-finished hardware, and two new colors, persimmon and gray. The line also features a customizable Wall Manager ^® System.   

“When we design, our goal is to identify innovative organizing ideas and transform them in to stylish, high-quality products that consumers love and trust. It’s important that people have the ability to stay organized whether the space they’re working with is a roomy office, a small desk, a closet or just a tote bag. We design products which make those spaces as functional as possible. Consumers really appreciate our attention to detail and use this line for its quality, style, and value,” said Martha Stewart. 

Earlier this year, the Martha Stewart line of office products launched a new office storage system and new travel products and accessories. The office storage system offers basketweave bins with raised lids that make stacking and storing easy in even the smallest spaces; bins come in 6 sizes, most of which can hold letter-size paper and standard folders. The travel line is designed to help travelers stay organized and ease the travel experience; products include a brand-new Martha Stewart backpack—featuring a rear pocket that unzips to slip over a rolling luggage handle—a tote bag, and assorted zipper pouches, perfect for accessories such as toiletries, makeup, and more. These latest products and the entire Martha Stewart collection are currently available online at Staples.com/MarthaStewart and in stores.

“We’re thrilled to expand the exclusive Martha Stewart collection at Staples that includes beautiful organizational products and bright pattern finishes,” said Amy Steel Vanden-Eykel, vice president, merchandising, Staples. “The Martha Stewart brand is perfect for the moms and teens who are looking for a stylish, functional alternative to classic office supplies.”
