7 recommended BEST vintage clothing stores in Kita-Senju, Tokyo JAPAN

Introducing vintage clothing stores around Kita-Senju Station that I actually visited!  Kitasenju Station, Adachi Ward, Tokyo. While there is a bar district famous for rice crackers and lunchtime drinks, it is an interesting town to explore, such as leather goods workshops and specialty coffee shops. It is also a terminal station that connects Tokyo and the suburbs, and is often used for transfers.

There are some good vintage clothing stores within walking distance around Kita-Senju Station. For some reason, I felt that it was a little-known second-hand clothing district with a laid-back atmosphere that was different from places like Shimokitazawa, Koenji, and Kichijoji.

Thrift Store Catch up

Close to Kitasenju station. A cheap second-hand clothing store with racks lining the back alleys. Catch-up's official Instagram regularly introduces products.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413232926j:plain

Outside the store are items under 500 yen. It feels like a thrift store.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413232930j:plain

Men's. Levi's is 500 yen, US T-shirts are mixed, and there is digging.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413232934j:plain

The store has both men's and women's clothing.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413232938j:plain

There are also many retro dresses and patterned shirts. Leather jackets and other old items are also fun to look at.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413232943j:plain

The impression is that there are many prices between 100 yen and 3000 yen. You can find good old clothes in spite of being a miscellaneous recycle shop. A second-hand clothing store close to Kita-Senju Station that you'll want to drop by casually.

Although some new items are available, most of them are used American clothes. There was a selection of vintage American casual clothes. There were quite a few uniform shirts from American companies, and there were many old clothes that fit Japanese people. It was a shop where you can find good second-hand clothes at reasonable prices in the price range of around 3000 to 6000 yen.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233009j:plain

On the rack in front of the shop, there are T-shirts made in USA for 500 yen! There is also a plain fruit of the room, and there is a cheap and good selection.

As the name suggests, this is a women's specialty store. There are many retro dresses and patterned shirts, so it's irresistible for vintage and second-hand clothes lovers!

There are many retro blouses with cute patterns, and the price is around 3000 yen. This shop is highly recommended for women who like second-hand clothes.

It's in the back of a multi-tenant building, so it's a little hard to understand, but there's a torso at the storefront. At the far end of the corridor is a second-hand clothing store.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233035j:plain

The owner was friendly and nice. There are both women's and men's items, but I think there were more men's items. Good quality used clothes from the 70s and 80s are available. The price range is about 5,000 yen to 10,000 yen, which is not as high as you might think. Nice little hideaway atmosphere.

Sole Cakes

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233042j:plain

Solecakes is a vintage clothing store in a renovated old shoe factory. That's why the store name is Sole. There are not many second-hand clothes for sale, but there is an online shop.

U.S. and European used clothes are the main items. There are many overseas antique goods and accessories such as watches and key chains, which are worth seeing.

We also have blazers and suit-style second-hand clothes, as well as many American casual classic second-hand clothes. There are both men's and women's. The price range is about 6000 to 10000 yen.

RAINBOWFIELD

A vintage clothing store in a renovated warehouse. It's like an American thrift shop, and the tension goes up!

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233100j:plain

Both men's and women's are available. About half.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233104j:plain

There are many second-hand fashion accessories such as belts, accessories, and hats, as well as some antiques. A good vintage shop.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233109j:plain

There are also many women's bags.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233113j:plain

It was a pity that there was no fitting room and many of the products were covered with vinyl, making it difficult to see, but I felt that the price was cheap. Most of the prices are in the 3,000 to 8,000 yen range, but there are second-hand clothes from the 70s, and you can find bargains.

Thrift Store Senju Hige

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20210413233127j:plain

An old clothing store in a bar district near the station. It is open irregularly, so be sure to check Instagram for the latest information before visiting.

Basically, the store opens at 18:00. I'm very interested just because it's a second-hand clothing store in a bar district, but it was closed when I visited. Looking at Instagram, it seems that there are quite high quality second-hand clothes, so I am very curious. Will visit next time.
