Having a cute pen is fun but what is even better is a cute pen that is reliable and refillable. This week I want to share some info about one of my favorite lines of stationery products: Mark's Inc. As you may know or have guessed this line originates in Japan, where so much good stationery is born. One of my favorite things about Mark's is that they are not only serious about writing but they are serious about eco-friendly writing. Their line of reusable products are excellently made for those who are serious about writing.
MARK'S INC, is dedicated to bringing the essence of Japan's elegance and comfort to the world. Guided by their brand philosophy of 'Bringing Comfort with Delightful Sophistication,' they relentlessly craft products that marry refined design with innovative functionality, each a testament to their unwavering commitment to enhancing the quality of everyday life.
My first ever Mark's product was the Tous Les Jour refillable pen. Mark'style Tous Les Jours pen features a wooden casing that beautifully features the days of the week in French, "tous les jours," along with common hobbies like reading a novel, taking a trip, and watching a movie. This unique ballpoint pen brings a touch of elegance to your writing experience, combining functionality with a delightful design. The needle-point, 0.5mm tip, oil-based ink of the Days ballpoint pen is perfect for precision and smooth writing. This pen made me realize that having a fine tip pen is the key to neat writing, a feature of every Mark's pen.
When I was looking to add more planners and journals to the shop I started with the Storage.it because of the wonderful refillable nature and the touch sensitive pocket (featured in the image above). This eco-friendly Refillable Notebook will upgrade your work station with minimalistic and smart stationery. The Storage.it has a slide zipper pocket designed to accommodate pens, sticky notes, and other essentials, making it easy to carry alongside your notebook, laptop, or tablet. The transparent PVC material with a slide zipper cover allows you to effortlessly organize your must-to-have items, providing a sleek and efficient way to move with your notebook in hand.
Available in light and sophisticated dark colors, offering a stylish range of options. These notebooks feature the smooth writing experience Mark's is renowned for, using their in-house developed planner paper 'NEO AGENDA.' Crafted to be thinner and lighter compared to regular notebook paper, it's perfect for carrying alongside heavier digital devices. Inside cover panels feature pockets for carrying extra bits of paper, business cards, or ID cards/credit cards.
In MARKS commitment to sustainability, the PVC cover is made from recycled PVC (vinyl) with a 90% recycling rate, and the notebook paper is produced from responsibly managed forest wood, using FSC® certified paper.
If you are still a dinosaur like me Fall is a very exciting time as that is when planners and calendars for the upcoming year start to arrive. This moment admittedly came quicker than I realized. But not too late to procure a few of the wonderful Mark's 2027 Agendas. The 2027 Weekly Planner by Mark's Inc. is a premium weekly vertical planner designed for professionals who value clarity, structure, and writing quality. The design artwork features imagery we find synonymous with Japanese culture while having a modern appeal. Featuring a vertical 16-hour format, this planner allows precise time management while maintaining space for notes and ideas. Monthly overview pages included.
Sadly, my absent mindedness means this year we do not have refills for 2027 but I am certain you can find them elsewhere.
By far the most popular Mark's item in the shop is the Pocket Size Dayfree Weekly Planner. Super handy on your desk, this pocket size weekly planner has a front and back in solid cardboard. On the inside, each page has an overview of all the days of the week on which you can record your activities and appointments. It includes 58 weeks and a monthly plan to get an annual overview. Spiral bound to make laying flat easy!
As avid consumers themselves, MARK'S understands the pursuit of 'beautiful indulgence' that brings joy amidst the routines of life. Embracing the concept of 'wonderful indulgence in the little things,' they cherish the pursuit of that special quality which elevates everyday moments. With every product they offer, they aim to enrich the daily lives of customers around the globe. The MARK'S mission extends beyond borders, as they aspire to be a global community, tirelessly dedicated to enhancing the comfort and well-being of people worldwide.
