Sticker Heaven
I love stickers! I'm like a little kid and I used to not put them on things cause I love them so much but I have a journal for while I'm in Japan where I write down what I've done so I put them on that. But if you're not like me and want to put stickers on stuff and not hide them away come here! It's in between Harajuku and Omotesando called B-Side Label.
All of the stickers are hand drawn by artists and some of them work in the store! So the artists are able to make a living on them and I love that about this place. The staff are also so nice and friendly! If you don't speak Japanese don't worry because some of them speak english and want to try and speak to you. If you speak some Japanese they love to speak to you and its such a warm and welcoming place!
It is a little overwhelming to look at all of the stickers in the store but take the time to explore and look at them all. If you're looking for something specific talk to them and I bet they can find it for you! They have detailed animals or cartoon style ones. They have Japanese landmarks and major landmarks around the world so it's a really cool souvenir.
Some of the stickers are in a series like these sloths! They're so cute, I have two of them and want them all! They are different days of the week with different scenes. They also have sloths by the same artist doing different things which are also so cute!
The larger stickers are about $3 and the smaller ones are about $2. I know some people might say that it is expensive but it does support local artists and I think they are really cool gifts.
So this is my journal with some of the stickers I have on it. The sloths on the bottom remind me a lot of my morning commute to class everyday and its Wednesday in the series of days of the week. The purple princess in the middle was a gift when I bought some stickers and told them I was leaving Japan soon! They're so sweet!
So this is my laptop and I love these stickers. So the big sloth on the bottom is friday in the series of the week and the little one in the middle says "I don't want to study". The flamingo and the round one in the corner are also from B-Side Label.
