O, how I love this place! Leave me here for the whole day and I'll still be preoccupied. I grew up with this shop, probably discovered it when I was like 7 years old when it was still in the original Sai Yeung Choi St in Mong Kok. I was mortified when I first found it closed down, luckily it had only moved and the new location is just as big (from memory) and the layout is actually quite similar.
There's really something for everyone I think! The G/F is all pen enthusiast. Tons of fountain pens (low-high end), inks, and of course your typical pens, but it has EVERYTHING! I also got my sakura micron here for $10. And I've bought many sets of pens here in the past too. They have the cutest scissors and stationery. Everything pilot, pentel, uni, etc is here.
The 1/F is office supplies, lots of different sized folders, binders, etc. I bought my campus binder here and lots of bandex and kokuya here. Calculators from snazzy to graphing. Accessories for printing, including printers!
The 2/F has a ton of cute stuff/crafty and gifting supplies, stickers and DIY cards, crochet, needling, raw wooden items you can paint over, wax seals, glitter, rhinestones, sewing supplies, fabric paint, crepe paper, gift wraps, cards, etc.
The top floor is an artist galore! Way better selection than Artland. They stock many different brands, and a plethora of varied items. A myriad of Sketchbooks, papers (lined, dotted, squared, 2 holes, multiple holes), loads of oil/acrylic/watercolour paints from student to professional quality, nibs for calligraphy, inks, various brushes, canvases, easels. You can find nearly everything you need here, and at a relatively friendly price!
I definitely have to support this place to keep it going! With Hong Kong rent rising, all the neighbhourhood stationary stores I grew up with have closed down. Please let this one live on!
