![]() ![]() Lotta Jansdotter – I am a huge Lotta fan and I was over the moon when I found out she has her own line of washi tape.Ginko Papers – the very first place I ordered tape from - and I still have some of those first rolls even 5 years later - washi tape seems to last forever! Ginko Papers makes regular trips to Japan to find new and nifty treats for their shop.Cute Tape – is based in the US and in addition to tape also has stamps and twine (yah!).UGUiSU – ships from Tokyo to all over the world! They always have a great selection and other nifty things from Japan.She always has the latest and greatest tapes, and shipping time isn’t that bad either - orders always seem to arrive within a week. Crafty Japan – Melanie is in Japan and has a HUGE selection of washi tape and other awesome Japanese crafty supplies (including hard to find gocco supplies!).If you go, check out their bookstore just across the way for Japanese craft books, including books on how to use washi tape. Kinokuniya Stationery and Gift – they are in Japantown in San Francisco - they also have a huge selection of pens from Japan.Paper Source – find it in their shops and online.Itoya in Tokyo (the Ginza location) - love this store so much!. ![]() Anthropologie - they even have that super cute squirrel washi tape holder in the photo (J got it for me for Christmas, love!).Another manufacturer to look for is Mark’s.įirst off, brick and mortar stores (some are also online): Here’s a great story about how they started making washi tape. Tapes by Kamoi Kakoshi Co will have “mt” or “kamoi” on the inside. As you are shopping, look for the brand on the inside of the tape roll. The principle manufacturer is Kamoi Kakoshi Co who makes mt masking tape. It’s also easy to remove and reposition (much like a post-it note). Don’t get me wrong, I love tape in ALL it’s forms! (I am addicted, in fact!) But to me, washi tape is made from Japanese washi paper and has a translucent quality about it (so that you can see some of what is underneath the tape). One quick word on washi tape - I think of washi tape as being different from paper tape, masking tape, tissue tape, or fabric tape. I realize that there are many (many!) awesome places out there that sell washi tape these days - this list is just of the ones that I personally have purchased from and that are still likely to carry washi tape. One of the most frequently asked questions I receive here on the blog is: “where do you buy washi tape?” So, I decided to compile a list of my favorite places! ![]()
