Topdrawer is a droolworthy shop that is basically low hanging fruit for anyone who identifies as a “creative” or anyone who loves traveling to Tokyo just to shop. The lifestyle shop is heavy on the writing tools and travel accessories that cater to a nomadic lifestyle that, let’s be real, we all aspire to. The shop is beautifully curated, filled with simply designed quality “productivity” products that are functional and stylish. From bags to socks, sunglasses to pens, everything is a part of everyday life, and an opportunity to invest in the simple necessities.

Everything they sell is designed with sustainability in mind, and even the stores themselves have shelving made from reclaimed wood and recycled metals. While many a lifestyle shop offer a plethora of reusable water bottles, Topdrawer has an entire section dedicated to bentos, taking the Japanese sensibilities of balanced meals carefully crafted into boxes and making it the new must-have accessory for this generation of digital nomads. Whether it’s backpacks or notebooks or bento boxes, the primary colors and neutrals and simple silhouettes make for timeless choices that exude humble elegance.
