CN Square

O, how I love this place! Leave me here for the whole day and I’ll still be preoccupied. I grew up with this shop, probably discovered it when I was like 7 years old when it was still in the original Sai Yeung Choi St in Mong Kok. I was mortified when I first found it closed down, luckily it had only moved and the new location is just as big (from memory) and the layout is actually quite similar.
There’s really something for everyone I think! The G/​F is all pen enthusiast. Tons of fountain pens (low-​high end), inks, and of course your typical pens, but it has EVERYTHING! I also got my sakura micron here for $ 10. And I’ve bought many sets of pens here in the past too. They have the cutest scissors and stationery. Everything pilot, pentel, uni, etc is here.
The 1/​F is office supplies, lots of different sized folders, binders, etc. I bought my campus binder here and lots of bandex and kokuya here. Calculators from snazzy to graphing. Accessories for printing, including printers!
The 2/​F has a ton of cute stuff/​crafty and gifting supplies, stickers and DIY cards, crochet, needling, raw wooden items you can paint over, wax seals, glitter, rhinestones, sewing supplies, fabric paint, crêpe paper, gift wraps, cards, etc.
The top floor is an artist galore! Way better selection than Artland. They stock many different brands, and a plethora of varied items. A myriad of Sketchbooks, papers (lined, dotted, squared, 2 holes, multiple holes), loads of oil/​acrylic/​watercolour paints from student to professional quality, nibs for calligraphy, inks, various brushes, canvases, easels. You can find nearly everything you need here, and at a relatively friendly price!
I definitely have to support this place to keep it going! With Hong Kong rent rising, all the neighbhourhood stationary stores I grew up with have closed down. Please let this one live on!

Tips: MTR Yau Ma Tei exit B. come with a bag because you’re bound to leave with something ;)
Favourites: Big and lots of variety!
Meh: They don’t actually have everything. They don’t have rhodia pads.
Last words: Great place for gifts!

So, Finally… a stationary store that is equivalent to the USA version of Office Depot or Staples! WHOO!!!
First floor — pens galore! from the fancy pancy to the everyday pencil.
Second floor — «Formal» office supplies such as folders, binders, calculators, etc…(soo many to name!)
Third floor: for the «artsy do-​it-​yourself– fan» such as myself. Lots and lots of stamps, photo albums, limited scrapbook things but they have a good selection, gift boxes, etc…
Fourth floor: A painters paradise. Lots and lots of different paints and brushes!
Now, This is is just the general idea but I am sure you will find what you need here.
Also, lots of really nice gift ideas! Thank you CN Square for your existence! Move to Central! =)

Could you imagine a place that sell stationery and stationery ONLY? well, here is the place. Originally situated near the end on Sai Yeung Choi street south, this 3 storey complex selling different sorts of stationery has moved to Yau Ma Tei along Nathan road standing tall and proud over looking the main road of the Kowloon peninsula.
I still remember those days when I have to make props and sets for the dance society think back in Uni, this was the place to go to as you can find nearly everything in one complex. Papers of different textures, colors and sizes could all be found here; if you got trouble in locating the right pair of forceps, pincers or dunno where to find that special cutter that people graft paper with, CN has you covered. Although i must say this is not the best buy you can find in town, even slightly more expensive than the stationery shop in your neighborhood, with an all in one shop as such, just 1 stop n you can have literally everything you need, what more can you ask for?

If you are a stationery fetish, or a person who loves arts and crafts, whether a hobbyist or professional, this is definitely the place for you.
I usually take the MTR to get there, probably the easiest way. Take the MTR to Yau Ma Tei station, take the C exit, then turn left onto Nathan Road. Within a minute walk, on your left, you will see a 3-​storey building with a large green signage, and there, your exciting journey begins!
They stock a wide range of products including office supplies and equipments, drawing instruments, paper, oil/​water colours, model paints, art supplies, craft books, stamps, gift cards, etc. No matter what price range or quality you are looking for, you sure will find something suitable.
Looking for supplies of the latest DIY/​handicraft trends (eg. wool felt doll kit, sterling silver kit, leather kit, rubber stamp kit, etc) Go there and you won’t be disappointed. They also hold regular handicraft classes on the premises.
