Tokio shop is a secondhand clothing store that opened in Shibuya's Hyakken store, a unique store where clothes are crammed into a bar. .

Shibuya, Tokyo is dotted with vintage clothing stores. In the center of this area, a secondhand clothing store has opened, shrouded in mystery.

This time, we would like to introduce "tokio shop," which appears only on weekends at the "Nagasaki" bar. It is a unique store located in a place you would not expect to find a secondhand clothing shop, the Hyakkenten, where many izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) stand side by side.

Owner Tokio Kimura, who makes clothes in a variety of genres from costumes to uniforms and collection brands, as well as remakes and repairs vintage clothing, has started a men's brand "tokio" in the fall/winter of 2019.

The concept is "a vintage clothing store that introduces what the owner thinks is good without borders, without being bound by the boundaries of time, genre, or country.

. Here is an interior view of the store. In addition to racks, products are displayed on tables and chairs. The space looks fresh with the bar interior, including the twinkling lights and the bottles of alcohol seen in the back of the room.

. And here is a look using the products. The lineup includes items that are unique and cannot be found in today's ready-to-wear products. Among them, Mr. Kimura has a special attachment to the items from the late Urahara period that inspired him to become involved in fashion.

. Below are Mr. Kimura's thoughts on this store.

I would like to catch the things that we saw 20 years ago, the season that is constantly evolving and changing, called vintage clothing, in my own way, and convey it from the center of Shibuya.

What is secondhand clothing that meets the aesthetic eye of the creator of the clothing? Please come and see for yourself. Again, please note that the shop is open only on Saturdays and Sundays. Incidentally, Mr. Kimura's "TOKIO" will soon be launched at LECHOPPE, so be sure to keep an eye out for that as well.
