About the brand
Organising paper since 1927
KING JIM began in 1927 in Tokyo, when Eitaro Miyamoto created and sold name and seal registers under the trade name Meikando. In 1961, the company was renamed KING JIM.
In 1964 it launched the King File G binder, which had sold more than 100 million units by 1993, and in 1988 the TEPRA label maker. It still creates practical objects for organising, storing and labelling.

I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

Araujo & Sobrinho is a historic and magical stationery shop that has inspired me since the 1970s. A landmark for artists and lovers of the best brands. A symbol of our magnificent city of Porto!

On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
