Lihit Lab
Lihit Lab has been around in one guise or another since 1935. In that time it has produced top-quality stationery ranging from ring binders to pencil cases. We love them for their unique mix of practicality and kawaii-style cuteness. Some of their products are simple and elegant, making your stuff more accessible than other cases. And others may be practical too, but do it with just So Much CUTE.
Lihit Lab FAQ
What’s the history of Lihit Lab?
Lihit Lab was founded in 1938, and you can find them in Osaka, Japan. They were created as an office supply company, making binders and the like. They still make functional (boring) things for offices, but more recently they have added in more exciting personal stationery products to their range.
What makes Lihit Lab different?
Lihit Lab makes high-quality products, but they make a very good range of ‘cute’ products - lots of cats, dogs and even penguin and frog pencil cases. It’s the perfect range for people who enjoy kawaii-style cuteness, but with the quality of a more ‘sophisticated’ product.
Recommended Lihit Lab products
The most popular Lihit Lab products are the PuniLabo Standing Pen Cases. They are soft silicone animal-shaped cases. They come in all sorts of cute animals like corgis, bears and pigs. They even come in a large size. And they’re cute, did we mention how cute they are?
For something more understated, there is the Book-Type Pen Case, which does indeed open like a book. The case has different sections for different stationery types, from pens to bulkier items like a notebook. We say they are understated, but they do also come in bright orange or maroon camo, so you can choose your level of ‘stated.’
