Kurarin Vintage shop guide

A local Japanese vintage clothing lover introduces Japanese vintage shops. I visited second clothing stores in various regions and recommend the best ones.

I went! Summary of 14 recommended second-hand clothing thrift vintage stores in Taichung [Cheap, Price, Reputation, Vintage, Miscellaneous Goods, Antique, Europe, American Casual, Euro, Military, Accessories, Men's, Women's, Map]

Visit vintage shops in Taichung! I actually went there.

Taichung is home to historic townscapes and renovation spots such as Miyahara Eye Clinic. It takes about 1 hour by Shinkansen from Taipei, so a day trip is also possible. There are several second-hand clothing stores in the Sogudo and Ichichu areas for young people, where there are many museums and fashionable shops. It's a bit wide, so we recommend getting around the town by bus or on a shared cycle called "U-Bike".

It seems that second-hand fashion isn't that popular in Taiwan, and compared to Japan, the number of stores seems to be smaller, but considering the population, the number of stores is probably sufficient. It seems that second-hand Japanese clothes are popular, and there are many Japanese vintage items from the 80s and 90s. Retro fashion seems to be popular. There was also a second-hand clothing store that had regular vintage items and special items. While buying second-hand clothes from America and Europe, it seems that many of them are also from Japan. Taichung feels a little cheaper than Taipei.

On the second floor of the building.

Three vintage clothing stores in Taichung. There are many high-quality regular used clothes for men, women, and unisex. Most of the prices range from 5,000 to 10,000 yen, and you can find interesting second-hand clothes that seem a little more expensive than in Japan. Some items were cheaper than the market price in Japan. Good taste and good selection. I bought a suede hunting vest.

Tour vintage shops in Kaohsiung and Tainan! I actually went there.

The southern part of Taiwan has become a hot topic for its direct flights before. It takes about 2 hours by Shinkansen from Taipei. It's not impossible to make a day trip, but it's recommended to spend two days and one night at your leisure. Tainan is an ancient city with many attractions, and Kaohsiung is a retro port town where renovations are progressing. Especially in Tainan, there are many good second-hand clothing stores. Be aware that many second-hand clothing stores in Kaohsiung are closed on weekdays.

Kaohsiung/Tainan second-hand clothing store recommended 28 stores [cheap, price, reputation, vintage, miscellaneous goods, antique, Europe, American casual, euro, military, accessories, men's, women's, map] - Kurarin Vintage shop guide
