Delfonics

With over 20 boutiques already in Japan, Tatsuro Sato opened his first stationery outlet in Paris in 1987. Concentrating on minimalist designs using durable materials (linen, rayon, canvas, leather and resin), this is a haven for stationary addicts looking for Japanese and European notebooks, files, pens and much more. Their flagship wood-lined store near the Louvre is the only one in Europe for the moment, offering nearly 55 square metres of temptingly affordable things like post-its in cute designs (€4.30), vinyl pencil cases (€4.80) and electronic letter-openers (€14).
