Deco Rush (decoration tape ) by Plus

There are a million and one products you can use to journal, plan, organise on paper but I have a soft spot in my heart for Deco Rush. 

Deco Rush is a decorative tape that you use much like correction tape except with cute designs. Some are refillable, some have specific uses but they're really collectible and easy to use.

The only downside is it's not totally travel friendly, especially when you start to accumulate a few of these. However, the tape quality is really good and comparable to stickers. 

Here are the product lines available:  

Deco Rush is the OG, the first product from this line to be released. It comes in a myriad of designs and the cartridges are replaceable/exchangeable. 

Moji Liner is a highlighter in tape form. It's great for decorative frames or going over text. 
Also comes in Petit version. 

Petit Deco Rush is for diaries, planners, bullet journals etc. All the designs are a symbol of some sort you can use for planning, such as a haircut symbol, shopping bag or even a simple watercolour circle. 

Wide Deco Rush is shaped like the petit deco rush, only wider, the patterns however do not follow the same theme as the petit. Wide Deco Rush is more illustrative and you can use these to fill up spaces or as borders. 

 

If you're itching to start your Deco Rush collection, check out our store for some starter sets.

Traveler's Factory Station [Tokyo Station]

Travelers Factory is the holy grail for TN fans. They have a main store in Meguro, a store in Narita Airport and just last year, opened up a store in Tokyo Station, which I visited in December (2017). 

If you didn't know, Tokyo Station is a veritable maze of shops and train lines so it was not the easiest place to find but you'll definitely know it when you see it.

The store is roughly the same size as the Narita Airport store; carrying not only Travelers Notebooks but some of their travel accessories as well. Be sure to budget time for this as you might be here awhile. 

The biggest reason to visit this store, besides the fact that it's in a major Japanese train station, is the Station limited items. The brown TN cover only comes in standard size and is foil embossed with the train station design. There are also inserts, pencil boards, brass tags, washi tape, stickers and drawstring bags in this range. 

Unsurprisingly, since everything was so gorgeous, I picked up some goodies. The gold foil embossing on the TN cover and pencil board are my favorite touches. 

If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend a visit.

More info: link. 

If you aren't going anytime soon, we have a Traveler's Factory Tokyo Station pack specially curated just for you. There are just two sets and only available on our Etsy store: link. 

P.s this month's box theme is all about travel and our preorders are closing soon so do check it out here : link !

HEDERA Stationery Collection

TSUTAYA (chain of stores which sell CDs/DVDs alongside books and stationery) has released their very own stationery collection. Named HEDERA, the collection consists of items in 3 of the most instaworthy color groups > matte black, silver and rose gold. 

Needless to say, I am quite a big fan of rose gold items.

There are some staples such as a mechanical pencil, gel ink pen, ruler and pen knife.

The stapler is rather unique as you can adjust it to shut itself. It ends up looking like a rose gold lipstick case. Very pretty and yet functional. FYI, the stapler can staple up to ten pages of paper.

The tape case is rather unique and originally came with a roll of scotch tape. I replaced it with a roll of masking tape i use often in my journal. (You can purchase the masking tape and the rose gold clips in our etsy store here.)

Do you have a love for rose gold stationery? or perhaps a different color scheme? Check out the full range here.

Hi-Note, Isesaki, Japan

Ever been on a roadtrip and needed a stationery fix? If your answer is yes, you're part of my tribe. If you're planning a roadtrip in Japan, this information is absolutely for you! 

On a recent roadtrip, the coffee drinker entered Hi-Note into the itinerary. Hi-Note is based in Gunma, Japan. They have 2 stores, one in Takasaki and another in Isesaki. We were on our way out of Isesaki so we stopped by that branch. 

If you thought city stores were great for stationery, this place will change your mind. This store was massive, just grab a basket and start shopping is my advice. They had everything from pens, notebooks, cards to art materials, folders and washi tape, the list is honestly quite long. They even had stuff that was already sold out in the metropolitan areas, score! 

You'll need time because there's so much to look at, we unfortunately didn't have a lot of time but did come away with some cool stuff, all the reviews for those items have gone up or will be coming up so look out for that. 

So yes, if you're in Gunma area, definitely stop by and take a look at Hi-Note. Also, how cute is their tagline? 'Change Stationery, Change Life'

Store info here.
