When you need new Copic markers, a portfolio folder och triangular rulers, Matton is the place to…read morego. Especially if you're a student: you get 20% discount! Not bad. Matton offers a large selection of artist equipment, for professionals, amateurs and beginners. I would say it seems that they have it all, whether it comes to drawing, painting, building miniatures - you name it. Multiple types of paper, cardboard, sketchbooks, tutorial literature, glue, tape, artist tools, and the list goes on. Staff lets you stroll around the shop in peace, but gives help if you need it. The service I have had has been ok, not too friendly but not too bad either. Prices are good, I would say. They often have items of different producers and brands, so you can find the price / quality that fits your purpose the best. Location is convenient, as there is a tunnelbana station very close (Rådmansgatan) for rainy days, but when weather is nice, you can enjoy the streets of Vasastan. Luntmarkargatan is a tiny street, on the right hand side from Sveavägen, if you come from the centrum.

I have their classical black cotton travel bag since 4 years and it looks like I just bought it - neat and stylish. Their home garments are of the top quality and would bring the note of innovation and comfort to every part of your home shelter. Additional praise to the personnel: the loveliest people ever! Always ready to help and meet very welcoming. I was clumsy one day to break two cups from the shop table, but the personnel acted very supportive and I really felt like a welcomed customer rather a stupid idiot (which I of course was in that situation) and I would love to buy more from them, after such kind treatment even in such unpleasant situations.

The selection at this place keeps getting better and better! I love coming here to buy cute little…read moreblank cards and notebooks, but everything else seems to have caught my attention lately. The cloth bound boxes with leather straps and the chalk board paint are a couple of my new favorites. There's even a large circle black and brown striped rug I've got my eye on! I also noticed a newly expanded kitchen section with even a few smaller grocery items in stock. Last time I came out with a bargain from the sale rack on three tall glass jar candles at 25kr a piece (which my boyfriend pointed out were probably supposed to be "funeral" candles for halloween... but that is still up for debate. Oh well! HA!) Another great thing is this shop is right next to the T-banna at Fridhemsplan for easy access. I would suggest giving your typical office supply store a break and try out some of the stylish supplies here. =)

I stopped here to buy some nonsense, some greeting cards, post-it / sticky notes. I found the no…read moreproblem, and the woman working there was very sweet and helped me find a newborn-child-appropriate card with messages in Swedish, since my Svenska e inta so bra. I barely know any Swedish, but they were very helpful to me here. Thanks/tack! I have to note they are expensive, even though everything in Stockholm is expensive for us, being from the US where everything is so inexpensive... over $20 for a cube of off-brand post it notes is steep to say the least! One negative (not really), they so distracted me with niceties, I forgot to ask them what I stopped here for (a common problem I have), or, if I can email files to print for me. If anyone knows, please let me know somehow, thank you/tack!..;)
