A joyful stationery party is here! The 2019 Eslite Bookstore “Ideal Stationery” event kicks off on August 2 at Eslite Xinyi Store, featuring over 10,000 unique and creative stationery items from Japan, the U.S., the U.K., and 10 other countries, with an ingeniously designed exhibition space.

“Ideal Stationery” features nostalgic Showa-era general stores and retro Japanese elementary school classroom scenes. Eslite has also exclusively partnered with Japan’s THINK OF THINGS to launch Taiwan’s first limited-edition store, not only authentically recreating the much-visited Tokyo Chigasaki store scene, but also introducing a variety of exclusive items — including the popular weighing clip that allows you to freely fill different styles and sizes of clips, as well as concertina-style paper that lets you adjust the paper length, and an exclusive “gold foil stamping” service for field notebooks.

MUST-BUY POPULAR ITEM from THINK-OF-THINGS — the weighing clip “SOLD-BY-WEIGHT_MIX-CLIP,” available exclusively in Taiwan in a bottle, recommended price NT$390–590.

The 2019 Eslite Bookstore “Ideal Stationery” runs from August 2 to August 19 at Eslite Xinyi Store, with satellite exhibitions at Eslite Taichung Yuandao Store and Eslite Kaohsiung Big City Store. Some exhibits are also available for sale simultaneously at Eslite bookstores and Eslite online bookstore across Taiwan. Eslite Life Nanshi further launches a MOLESKINE brand exclusive store, featuring all-new autumn/winter products and the 2020 limited-edition planners.

Japan’s century-old stationery brand KOKUYO’s physical lifestyle concept store “THINK OF THINGS” in Tokyo Chigasaki, with its clean and sleek space design, has attracted many stationery enthusiasts. This marks its Taiwan debut at the 2019 Eslite Bookstore “Ideal Stationery.” In addition to original stationery, the brand has also specially designed office desks, display cabinets, and other furnishings — which can be opened after the exhibition and are being sold globally for the first time ever!

Some of the exhibition display furniture from THINK OF THINGS is available for purchase and will be shipped after the exhibition period ends.
