There’s a special kind of joy in flipping through smooth paper or finding the perfect pen — and around KL, there are plenty of cosy spots that celebrate that love for stationery. Stores like Stickerrific, Kuma Journals, Mari Ke Kedai, and CzipLee feel more like creative hideouts than shops. You might walk in for a notebook and leave with a new obsession. Thoughtfully curated and run by passionate people, these spaces invite you to slow down, get inspired, and maybe even lose track of time — in the best way. Step inside, and you’ll see why these spots feel special.

1. Stickerrific (Jaya One, PJ)

Stickerrific feels more like a cozy creative home than a typical shop — complete with slippers at the door and four resident cats lounging as you browse.

Prices start at around RM5 for small finds and can go up to RM80+ for premium items like specialty tapes and journals. While it leans a little on the pricier side, the warm ambiance, thoughtful curation, and charming little surprises make every visit feel magical — like you’ve wandered into a stationery wonderland.
