Stationery stores in KL & Selangor
Just like phone cases and laptop covers, even the pen and paper we use at school or work have become an extension of our personalities. It makes shopping for them a ton of fun too, with shops catching on to this – most of us have likely impulse-bought a notebook at Typo just because it spoke to us. On your next hunt for aesthetic notebooks, scrapbook embellishments, or craft supplies, drop by one of these stationery stores in Klang Valley.
