The PLOTTER USA team made its way to the windy city for the second time this year to partake in the 38th Annual Atlas Stationers Sidewalk Sale in Downtown Chicago, Illinois.

The timing of the Sidewalk Sale couldn’t have been better, as it coincided with the launch of PLOTTER USA’s newest leather binder, the Shiranami Leather Binder in Mini 5 Square Size! This collection continues the line-up of PLOTTER Japan Blue Project 6-Ring Leather Binders, now available in A5, Bible, Mini, and the new Mini 5 Square Size.

The Shiranami Leather Binder in Mini 5 Square Size will be available at PLOTTER USA events, however, please stay tuned for news about an official online release date.

Located in the heart of the Loop in Downtown Chicago, Atlas has been a valued PLOTTER retailer since 2023. This two-day pop-up event was an opportunity for the PLOTTER USA team to connect personally with Chicago’s PLOTTER users and witness firsthand how they creatively incorporate PLOTTER into their daily routines.

PLOTTER fans at the event had exclusive access to event-limited items, including the Unevenly-Dyed Cordovan Leather Binder in A5 size, Chicago Notepads, and Letterpress Refills.

One of the event highlights was seeing PLOTTER fans utilizing their PLOTTER Leather Binders they purchased at our first PLOTTER Pop-Up at Atlas Stationers in 2023. At that first event, the PLOTTER Japan team came to help with the PLOTTER Leather Binder Customization event. Seeing the leather binders created during that event age gracefully within two years was remarkable.

PLOTTER fans were able to add a personal touch to their binders through the Corner Hardware Attachment Customization service. The PLOTTER team was impressed by the diverse collection of PLOTTER Leather Binders that fans brought for customization, with some PLOTTER Leather Binders our team has never seen before!

The two-day Sidewalk Sale was filled with so much positive buzz, and Atlas Stationers fans and PLOTTER customers brought such a kind midwestern energy to the event.

Thank you to the Atlas Stationers staff for welcoming the PLOTTER USA team and for hosting the 38th Annual Sidewalk Sale. We hope that PLOTTER USA will return to Chicago for more fun events and exclusive items in the future.

PLOTTER USA will be exhibiting next at the San Francisco International Pen Show from August 29-31 at the Westin San Francisco Airport Hotel. For more information, check out our PLOTTER Magazine article.
