      I have found that some items meant for the Jap market will have Japanese words on the packaging but not made in Japan, so need to read the Made from xxxx statement 😄

          i thought that items from isetan will be more ex, in this case it is cheaper than popular and the quality as what i see from the website is of better quality than popular. The pencil cap in popular looks like those cheapo kiddy pen caps and more ex too.will find one day to go down to Isetan to buy

            Japanese are usually very particular about their stationery, so I think should be ok quality. Maybe Popular has run out of this, but I have seen them selling this brand of pencil caps.

              i think popular using membership card or the discount 20% coupon which used to be found in the popclub magazine to buy stationery in popular will be cheaper. Without these 2,it will not be cheap
