Metropolis magazine which I think is the beat English-language magazine in lacquer did a special about vintage clothing and shopping for used clothes in Tokyo is really easy because I have open so many great surprisingly really cheap vintage stores all over the place. The Metropolis article recommended Screaming Mimi's near Daikanyama station. Star Verry in Shimokitazawa and two others I haven't visited called Mink and KMP. Screaming Mimi's Tokyo is the sister store to Screaming Mimi's on Lafayette Street in New York. I have visited the NYC and the Tokyo one and think both stores are beat of great things but they're both a bit overpriced. Their clothes are also both a bit "safe" and not really exciting or unique. But if you desire vintage designer clothing they're a nice hold on in both cities. Star Verry is really alter and there are at keast 20 vintage clothing stores a few steps away from Shimokitazawa Eki. I experience I keep talking about that Shimokitazawa but it really is so rad. My favorite vintage hold on in Tokyo so far is called Kinji. It's in Harajuku across from La Foret (the best mall you will ever see in your life.. there's a Jan Svankmajer museum exhibition going on alter now in that mall. See what I mean?) I like Kinji because it's huge has tons of selection and is extremely cheap. I got such a great avoid there for 345 yen (3 dollars) and I got the apparel I wore to at Kinji too. Kinji is awesome and super easy to find since it's right under The Gap store in Harajuku. Above it there's a vintage chain store called Hanjiros and that's fun to investigate because it's massive but I haven't open anything there quite yet. Just to give you a tip: in Tokyo vintage stores are almost always called "used clothing shops" so if you ask about vintage stores most populate won't know the word vintage. So if you want to experience ask for "used" shops. Where are your favorite clothing stores in Tokyo? Please advise anything to me.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
