Erin Condren Back To School Collection Review
The Erin Condren Back to School Collection may be my favorite launch ever!
For the first time since Feb of 2020, John Michael and I went on a much-needed vacation. We rented a cabin, brought a whole bunch of food, and spent a couple of days hiking. It was the perfect socially distanced escape from the city. But, on my doorstep when we arrived was the newly iconic mid-century circles box filled to the brim with this collection!
This collection was designed with you in mind, and launches on June 6th! This means that all of the items below are live on the site! While the upcoming school year is unknown for many, the Erin Condren team is bringing us the supplies to help us start our new normal — whatever that may be — organized. This collection centers on desk organization, so whatever your desk situation this will help set you up for success — and they look pretty too!
If you are new to Erin Condren here is $10 your first purchase.
So let’s dig in here:
Before I start, I want to say that I was some of the items in this launch for review by the Erin Condren team. While I have many of the items launching, I do not have them all. However, the list you will see below will be exhaustive. What an honor to review and share these items with you. Additionally, this page contains affiliate links. If you choose to use these links, there is no additional cost to you and I will make a small commission that allows me to keep producing content. If you choose to use them: Thank You!
As a businesswoman, and someone currently working from home. These items are already in use. So if you are a working professional, an educator, a student, a homeschooler, a homemaker, and/or a lover of stationery and organizational products than this collection is for you!
