Would You Like That In a Bag?
Japan has a great tradition of wrapping things up. And why not? If you're going to give someone a present, be it large or small, why not diss the typical piece of wrapping paper for something a little more surprising and unique?
In the basement level of Shibuya's Parco, the ever-so-stylish stationery shop Delfonics is exhibiting the Paper Bag Market #2 (clearly #1 happened before I moved to the country, so I'm glad they considered me this time). I visited last weekend and was squee-ing in delight at all the cute baggy goods for sale. And check out the gorgeous exhibition space - decked out like a cool 70's Eames-adorned office. E for effort Tokyo, once again.
Naturally the prices were exorbitant, even if some of the bags were "vintage"...ahem, they're still just paper. But! Here is my little selection. I've used quite a few already for little gifts sent back home. Too fun.
If you're in TYO check it out, it's on until October 7.
Get wrapping.

Oh my! Such cute little bags. I must visit this place... And soon!
Love love love Japanese stationery and paper goods! I might just splurge on a few if I were there :p
Yes Phi you should go! Bag overload! And CC, I love them too. If you like anything from the pics I'd be happy to get them for ya. The first thing I thought though was "I wish they had an online shop"! Zannen desu ne...!
