Restocked—Hasami Maruhiro collection

For nearly a century, Hasami pottery was shipped through neighbouring Arita and labelled as someone else's work. It wasn't until after 2002 that Hasami began reclaiming its own name — and Maruhiro's HASAMI brand launch in 2010 is largely credited with bringing it back into the spotlight.

400 years of craft. Rediscovered just recently.

Nine years of SORT — thank you for growing with us.

We don't think we've ever done a storewide sale before — but nine years feels like the right time. Labour Day weekend only (Friday to Sunday): 15% off in-store* and 10% off online*, including items already on sale. Oh, and we just added a bunch of new sale items too.

*Exception: special order furniture and Hobonichi items.

See you this weekend. 🎉

Between the studio and the shop, multitasking is just part of the day. Keeping my work area clear and my tools minimal has really helped — but ngl, there's a lot of old stationery that feels too wasteful to throw away. I now keep it all in a toolbox — out of sight, but there when I need it.

Hanging at the front of our shop are some of our customers' and staff favourites — hats by IDEA and towels by Imabari.

Two brands from different corners of the world, but we love the story behind each. IDEA was crowned by Vogue as "the coolest bookshop in the world" and ran a Secret Book Room in Soho, mostly frequented by fashion designers and creatives.

Imabari, on the other hand, now produces over 60% of all towels made in Japan. Their secret is the soft, mineral-light water from underground springs fed by the Soja River and Mount Ishizuchi — it allows manufacturers to skip heavy bleaching and chemical processing entirely.

Hard to believe we've been here since the summer of 2017 — but we still love hearing from visitors who are discovering us for the first time.

If you haven't stopped by yet, the shop is split between a storefront and a back studio (which now doubles as storage). On the shelves you'll find stationery and notebooks from Penco, Delfonics, and Craft Design Technology, books and magazines, Japanese ceramics and glassware, incense, furniture by Alvar Aalto, camping gear from Snow Peak, and selected pieces from small independent brands in Seoul — among other things.

Come find us this weekend at 2550 Stephens St, Vancouver.
Saturday 11–6pm · Sunday 11–5pm

Blue Lug 🚲 Cargo Net — now online at sortdays.com

This cargo net keeps whatever's riding in your basket — or strapped to a front rack — from bouncing loose. Assembled in Japan in a two-tone weave, it stretches over a 30 x 30cm area and comes with two hook styles: aluminum hooks sized for 12mm rack tubing, plus slightly larger plastic hooks that clip onto handlebars. We keep one on hand for grocery runs and anything that doesn't fit neatly in a pannier.
