Salesperson, Journalize
“We aren’t really like other stationery stores and people started noticing us when we were mentioned in a blog. We slowly developed our own style of running a store and don’t really follow any set rules. It’s not really vintage, at least not in the way we might be familiar with growing up in Hong Kong. My favourite thing is meeting people and love when students come in because we live in a digital world now so I like seeing children getting excited about stationery.”
