uni Nano Dia color pencil leads

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="2500.0"] Side note: The pencils are from a collaboration between uni Kuru Toga and LOFT. [/caption]

Love the look of color pencils but really like the erasability of normal pencils? Or better yet, mechanical pencils you never need to sharpen? Well its time to add some color to your life as Japanese stationery brand uni has put out a series of colored pencil leads! 

The colors are vibrant and identical to color pencils but they possess the same qualities as a normal pencil. Erasable and fine enough to write with. [0.5mm pencil lead!]

I personally love drawing with these [blue is a common draft color used by many who draw comics] but they are also perfect to add that pop of color in your journals. And if you make a mistake? Just erase it!

Have you tried these out? Are you interested in seeing them in our store?

The Stationery Department in LOFT Tokyo

One of the most popular chain stores in Japan, LOFT has quite an amazing selection of stationery. There is always something new!

Here are the latest sightings (July 2016)

Kokuyo has launched a limited edition series of their ever popular dotliner range featuring some super cute aquatic themed animals!

Not to be outdone, norino has collaborated with disney for a princess themed limited edition collection.

Disney is clearly ever popular in Japan. Especially the princesses. Style fit from uni has some new limited edition princess cases as well for their multi pens.

Finally, not something princess related or limited edition, the Pilot Fude-Makase Color Brush Pen (which I love and reviewed before) has launched a fine tip version. Its a little thicker than their usual ultra fine tip. A fantastic addition to anyone's collection.

SARASA from Zebra is doing a limited edition [yes we have a lot of LEs in Japan] collaboration with Fujiya (chain of cake and sweets stores in Japan). The offerings are "delicious" to say the least.

One more limited edition collection to wrap up this post. This time from PILOT's Hi-TEC-C Coleto range. The brand they have worked with? Cecil McBee. A Japanese female fashion brand popular amongst teens and adults alike. Needless to say the collection is girly feminine yet classy at the same time. Due to the brand's popularity, this particular collection is selling out fast!

Hope you enjoyed this little peek!
