Staples now sells Hipster PDAs?
Jul. 17th, 2008 09:12 pmThis afternoon Omaha had to run to Staples, one of our big office supply chains here in the US, and pick up some paperwork she'd had their printing service run off for her. As I wandered through the aisles, I noticed a big table with a new set-up for a line of products called M.
M, it turns out, is Staples' own brand of Moleskine knockoffs. But what was even more baffling was that among the products on the table I saw a small stiff-backed leather holder for 3x5 cards and boxes of 500-each 3x5 cards with grids on one side and portrait-mode lining on the other.
There it was: Staples is not only selling its own Moleskine knockoffs, it's selling Hipster PDAs.
