Milligram B&m Store

[inkypete]

Victorian based Aussies will be interested to know that Milligram is opening it's second store. Hot on the heals of the Melbourne Central location fit out has begun on a new store at Westfield Doncaster. Great way to look and touch their range of stationery and the full range of Lamy pens.

Sounds like they are targeting Tafts.

 

Any word on when Pen City might re-open?

Tafts are more about a large range of pens. Milligram only stocks Lamy (primarily), a few other minor brands and a huge range of quality stationery. I think they will compliment each other well. Not sure what is happening with Pen City.

Dymocks in Camberwell also stocks a large range of Lamy pens and Milligram notebooks and paper.

Hmm, a few other minor brands ... Kaweco, Pilot, Platinum, Diplomat, Caran d' Ache ... mostly workhorse rather than prestige pens. But stuff that will sell. Last time I went to Tafts Doncaster it had prestige pens but not a wide range of offerings. They could do with some competition. But seriously ... Doncaster?

Doncaster is an interesting choice. I suppose it is an upmarket centre and marketed as such. I am not local but travel their regularly as the range of shops is very good. I regularly visit Tafts, Nespresso, Apple and I think Milligram will do well. They have a Daiso too which can be handy. Time will tell I suppose. Now if they would just add a Muji........

Oh dear, this is virtually in my back yard. And me with an expensive LAMY habit already.

Becoming a great place to shop for us addicts. Tafts, Daiso, KikkiK, now Milligram - all bases covered. Plus the occasional surprise at Myer and DJs. Now, if they would just add a Muji. I'm surprised they don't have one given the strong Asian demographic in the area. Plus Nespresso Boutique and Apple store. And the best Pad Thai around in the food court.
