2024 Updated list of Stationery Stores to Visit in Taiwan

So many stores, so little time

Tools to Liveby in Taipei

This list summarizes stationery stores in Taiwan that I know of, including ones I’ve visited and some I hope to travel to someday. Some are big box chains and some are independently owned with a lot of personality. I omitted most of the mom-and-pop stores that mostly sell office supplies and school stationery, but if you come across them in your travels, don’t miss out on visiting them too.

Many of these stores have unique operation hours or are only open through reservations. I recommend researching their locations and hours before visiting through their Instagram, Facebook page, or official websites. Some have online shops that ship overseas too!

Another place to discover new artists and buy stationery from creators is at weekend or craft markets. I will also share a list of popular markets where creators frequently have booths.

If you are visiting Taiwan on your next trip, I hope it will be helpful for you. Please also look forward to the upcoming “Exploring Taiwan’s Stationery Store Landscape” series with more in-depth reviews and photos of my visits!
