Some foreign magazines introduced us!

These days, we are soo soo happy since our stores and cards are featured by some foreign magazines such as Australia, UK, and China!

Do you know GQ (UK version), a famous men's fashion magazine?
We were thrilled that they selected us as one of "the best design stores in the world" in
October issue. Yay!

Also, Australian famous interior/design magazine, INSIDE OUT and
Chinese luxurious magazine SevenSeas introduced us as "must visit" store.

This is a cover of SevenSeas China. It is very interesting since
it is the first time to see our article in Mandarin.
We cannot read though...!
But we can guess from some Chinese characters, which Japanese also use.
On the cover, probably they say "A guide book of the gorgeous tour in Tokyo" Cool !



Very popular design blog in the U.S, "design*sponge" also introduced our new series,
#602 animal cards. Many thanks, Grace!



We believe "word-of-mouth" is very very important for us.
It would be great if you could introduce Winged Wheel to your friends :)

Arigatou!

An idea for wedding thank you notes

Today, we have a lovely sunny day here in Tokyo.
So comfy!

One of our popular cards is 631 series. As you can see from the picture, these cards have various colors with pretty flower designs.
We selected Japanese traditional colors for these.

Most of our customers like this series, and some of them make their personalized calling cards(casual business cards), thank you notes, etc.
Some couples use them as wedding invitations, too.
I think it's a cool idea!



By using this series, my close friend, Cayce ordered thank you notes for her two girls' friends in Florida and Texas, who are going to have wedding parties in September.
(September is very popular for a wedding season in Japan, too.)
As for the font of "Thank you," she selected an elegant script font, which is very matching with the pretty cards.
I'm so glad that these cards are popular among American people as well as Japanese.

Many thanks, Cayce!

A little artwork of Winged Wheel

Hi everyone! This is Maki from Osaka.

At Winged Wheel, you can see an unique "obget" at the show windows.
Now, we have a lovely display here in Osaka store.
The theme of this month is "honey comb." I love it!



Every store display is created by staff members seasonally, and the materials are all paper in our stores. People in the street often stop by at our show window, and see this cute work.
The impression of the obget changes between day and night.
I hope you like it too.

Enjoy the splendid autumn!

Hot Safari Cards!

Hi all, please check out our hot cards, Safari series!
Don't you think they are sweet?



My favorite card is Leopard. Especially, her/his(?) eyes are so cool !
The size of these items is a little smaller than a post card, and it is beautifully letterpressed onto the cotton card.
There is a little room to write a short message on the animal printing side, but you can also write
a message on the backside, too.

This series is new in our stores, and is already getting popular.
If you are in Tokyo or Osaka, Please visit us!

Today, it is rainy and cool here in Tokyo.
It's still August, but it seems the autumn is just around the corner.

Hope you are well in your place.

Our chic items, for stationery lovers!

Hello world, I'm Rumi from Tokyo.
This time, I want to show you some of my favorite cards in my store.
I hope you like them!
Which designs do you like the best?

We have more than 1000 items in our stores.
There are some main series, we call "Winged Wheel standard series". They are very popular not only foreign customers, but Japanese people.

Last week, an American customer, who works as a fashion designer in Tokyo, visited our store with her sister. (She really loves our items, and visits us several times.) This time, she brought her sister, who were visiting Tokyo as vacation. I was glad that her sister also loved our items. It was really fun to chat with them!

Although it is hard to show you all items of our stores, but I will try to
introduce you some of them in this blog soon :)

Have you ever been to Osaka?

I hope you all are enjoying the hot summer.

(Maybe not so hot in your place?)
I am writing from Osaka, Japan.
Osaka is sooooo hot these days...!

My name is Maki, and my job is to creat/plan our Winged Wheel items.
We have a chic stationery store in Osaka, the second largest city in Japan.
Our store is in Shinsaibashi area, where is the hottest town in Osaka.
There are luxurious stores such as Louis Vuitton, Channel and Cartier,

but you can also find sassy boutiques and yummy Osakan foods in the town.
