Little Trip to Heaven
A visit to this treasure trove is like furrowing through the wardrobe of an eccentric Parisian aunt, while chandeliers twinkle and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious trills in the background. At Little Trip to Heaven , suitcases overflow with silk scarves and racks groan with Glomesh bags, beaded couture wedding dresses and a rainbow of vintage nightgowns. Think whimsical statement pieces with a romantic, feminine flair. Complete your look with high-heeled cowgirl boots, belts with statement buckles and antique clip-on earrings.
2nd Street Reuse Shop
With hundreds of locations across Japan, 2nd Street is a staple among those who love thrifting – with points for its variety, affordability and quality. New Balances, Salomons and swanky leather loafers are easy to come by, as are wool sweaters and work trousers. You can scoop up designer options from a dedicated section, where you’ll find Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake and Gucci, to name a few. The Shimokitazawa branch has a high turnover of stock due to its strategic location, so expect to see new stuff every day.
MWC Old & New Clothing
Step back in time at MWC , a snug store selling high-quality American menswear, mostly from the ’80s and ’90s. Expect a solid range of field jackets and outerwear (think L.L. Bean, Carhartt and Eddie Bauer), plus sports gear, braces and novelty items such as embroidered patches, Star Wars paraphernalia and US Air Mail backpacks. From the polished wood décor to the gentle soundtrack, MWC offers a beautifully curated experience with friendly service and English-speaking staff.
