Japan loves stationery, some shops were literally wall to wall with pens alone. It was incredible, I could have gone crazy but I didn't. I loved looking at all the kawaii products but they're not really my thing, what I'm really into are the modern and functional office supplies - and what better excuse for buying stationery is there than wanting to give the studio supplies a little refresh?
Here's what I picked up:
Stationery Organiser | because what more could a girl want than something to organise her stationery?
Pilot Frixion Erasable Pen | these pens erase ink and they actually work, I'm sad it's so ugly though
Mitsubishi No. 460 | basically just a fancy version of my favourite biro
Triangle Paper Clips | I have never needed to paper clip anything in my life but these are triangles
Okina Project Paper Sticker Memo | who doesn't like grid paper, am I right?
MT Tape Dispenser | useful and totally necessary.. besides it looks really nice
MT Pastel Masking Tape | up until now all I've ever known is black washi tape, let a girl live
MT Masking Tape Trio | I bought this purely to copy Rachel's whiteboard
MT Gems Masking Tape | because GEMS
MUJI Notebooks with Coloured Spines | gotta love those MUJI notebooks
MUJI Masking Tape Trio | the tape situation is getting ridiculous now
Mono Eraser | best eraser in the world apparently but I don't use pencils so I guess I will never know

Just bought a big pack of those Mono erasers! It's funny how a little eraser can motivate me to do my homework, but it's so cute! Works well too. :) Awesome haul.

I'm addicted to stationery and always have been but I never new you could pick up Japanese stationery in the UK, well except at Muji that is! I'll definitely be doing a little bit of online browsing this afternoon which will no doubt result in a cheeky order!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about washi tape that is just so appealing? I have absolutely no need for it and yet I want all of it!

This stationery looks incredible! You're so so lucky!
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves nice stationery, right? :))
ReplyDeleteI'm super pleased with my picks :))
ReplyDeleteMUJI is awesome, their notebooks are my favourite - I don't really use anything else.
ReplyDeleteHa, I feel the same. I'm surprised I didn't buy more but there was so much choice it was overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI want more - I can never have enough.
ReplyDeleteThere's always room for a bit more stationery..
ReplyDeleteIt's super useful in the studio1
ReplyDeleteThey're actually a little bit rubbish.. they don't really hold stuff unless you're clipping together a lot of sheets. The organiser is super useful for using in the studio though.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mono erasers - I'm not really a pencil user but I couldn't turn down "the best eraser in the world" could I? ;))
ReplyDeleteI love washi tape.. although I need to start using it more on gifts to people. I use only black for packaging orders, which looks great but is a little boring!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure luck has played much of a part in it!
ReplyDeleteI would have bought 10 pack of those colored spine notebooks, if we're being honest here.

I love Japanese design and stationery - minimal yet functional, exactly how it should be when it comes to office supplies! MUJI is one of my favourite shops of all time, it's so clean and simple and elegant, but unfortunately the one near me closed down (*sighs sadly*) so I have to get my stationery fix elsewhere these days or order online. I'm so envious of your organised little haul, if there's any more reason I need to visit Japan it's to stock up on desk treats and the like!

That organizer is everything!! I would have bought a dozen of those notebooks, too!
ReplyDeleteHere in South Africa it's very difficult to find nice stationary like this and almost impossible to order it online!
ReplyDeleteI'd be exactly the same, I'd keep saving it for something 'special'!

Right?! I even started writing notes in pencil even though I usually write in pen just so I can use the eraser! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI still have a boat load of Japanese stationery & those awesome erasable pens too. I have unopened packs of animal shaped paper clips that I never use & tiny decorative post its that are too cool to write on! 😃
ReplyDeletei'm going to Japan next year and I know I will die around stationery there. It's going to be a good death. I'll be happy.
