items "it's back to school season!!" I say to myself, 8 years out of college, filling up a cart of cute notebooks, pens, and planners.

Cutest and newest addition to LA. They have a great sticker wall and great prices for Japanese pens.
Mt. Fo'rest
A must-see if you like thinner, fountain pen-friendly paper products. They're hosting an event on October 1st alongside Hobonichi to see and feel the 2026 planner launch in person, where you can also buy the products – the only location on the West C...
HIGHTIDE STORE DTLA
THE shop for those needing color-coordinated paper, pens, and desk accessories.
Shorthand
Westside favorite with tonsssss of paper options for the pickiest shopper.
Flax Pen To Paper
Go all the way to the back of the first floor to see the paper and pen section. They have a ton of brands and a big selection of paper products from planners, notepads, guided journals, blank journals, calendars, note cards, and more.
Vroman's Bookstore
A classic for a reason. Check out their many colorful notebooks and then head to the Container Store (at the same mall) to reallllly get your life in order.
Moleskine
Love getting gifts from this shop specifically – their stuff is organized so beautifully, and their selection of paper goods would please anyone.
The Social Type
She's an icon, she's a legend – she's held me down when I had $5 and a dream. I like grabbing stickers, sticky notes, and small notebooks here, but their selection varies depending on store location.
Daiso - Japanese Household Goods
It's almost too predictable to even put on this list, but Michael's earned its' place. Check out it's paper products, sticker aisle, pen aisle, and even the paint section for DIY inspiration.
Michaels
This is on the same block as Shorthand on York, but more of an art store than a proper stationery store. Still, it's a nice, compact store to peruse for art supplies, particularly for drawing paper.
