DURING my times off on my two-week training, I decided to check out some shops in Metro Manila that sell cute/kawaii stuff (squee!).
My close friends know that I can spend the whole day just going over office supplies, cute decors and kitchen stuff. So here are three shops that are perfect for my fellows who fancy cute things.
Papemelroti
I have known and love Papemelroti since I was still in college because their notebooks are also being sold in leading bookstores and school supplies shops but after researching and checking out items from their website, I really wanted to go to one of their branches.
A little back story, I was bummed during my last Manila trip because we lacked time and I failed to check out their shop so when I saw their branch in Robinson’s Manila during the training, I did not hesitate and walked straight in.
As what I’ve mentioned, the main thing that I love about Papemelroti are their paper products (notepads notebooks, planners, journals and more) made out of recycled paper and are also proudly PH made!
Other than that, they also have desk decors, home decors and accessories as well. Papemelroti products are also affordable which is a huge plus.
A little trivia: Papemelroti stands for Patsy, Peggy, Meldy, Robert, and Tina who are the children of the business founders, Benny and Corit Alejandro.
Papemelroti has a lot of branches at major malls here in Manila and they also sell their products online at www.papemelroti.com.
Typo
Oh Typo! I’ve learned about this shop from some of my fave YouTubers and have been dreaming of visiting their shop and swoon over their products (sorry for being too emotional lol).
Typo is an Australian brand established by the Cotton On Group. This shop is a “heaven on earth” for me as it is filled with lots of Tumblry and Pinteresty stuff! Their products are so hip and quirky.
I loved their DIY sets, room decor sets, and travel-themed journals and accessories.
It was quite a journey getting to their Greenbelt 5 branch but it was still worth it. If time permits I also want to check out their BGC or TriNoma branch (crossing fingers).
Just like the first shop, you can also purchase their products online via cottonon.com/AU shipping which will be kinda pricy though as it will be from Australia.
Art Box
I stumbled upon this shop while strolling at Glorietta 4 and of course, seeing their cute products, I was not able to resist temptation and went to check out the place.
The shop was filled with lots of Kawaii and “Le Parisienne” themed items.
From pens to mugs to nail-grooming stuff and cute sleepwear, there are really tons of items to choose from at Art Box!
Just an FYI, I did not buy tons of stuff from the shops (I’m on a budget mode haha) but I had fun exploring each shop though (Squee!). I am wishing that they will open a branch in Davao but even if they don’t, I will definitely be back on my next metro trip.
Special shout out to my bff, Vjoy, for going with me in my search for these shops (Thanks, Tetz!).
