Muji sells all kinds of things; stationary, table ware, porcelain, clothing, toys and even furniture. The good quality products are not cheap but not expensive either.

I ended up buying a 100% leather saddle tan one, made in Germany by the well-respected brand, Picard. A couple of my colleagues also found what they'd been after. A really nice pair of men's Ralf Lauren sunglasses and a men's German-made black leather messenger bag. I wouldn't say the prices were great, but if you're looking for that one thing you've been searching for, it's reasonable and they seem well stocked.
