Santa Monica

“I’ve been a fan of Santa Monica’s Omotesando shop for years. There’s a certain pull to the place, something I can’t quite explain, but it kept me finding time to visit whenever I could. I’ve been going for so long now that I’ve lost track of when it all began. But one thing I do remember clearly is the guy with the shaved head. Maybe it’s because our builds are so similar, but I always felt an odd sense of kinship with him. And the clothes he picked out for me? They always fit effortlessly into my style, as though they’d been waiting for me all along. The shop carries everything from regular secondhand pieces to vintage treasures, each item imbued with its own subtle charm. And the bandanas? Their selection has always been dependable, with prices that feel almost too reasonable for what you’re getting. I recently picked up a few more—each one gave me that small rush, like finding something you didn’t even realize you’d been searching for. Before I know it, I always end up buying more than I planned. But that’s the beauty of this shop. They’re not pushy, not eager to sell you something. They’re just... there. Quietly existing, waiting for people to find their way in. And somehow, that makes it all the more inviting. I hope this shop stays just as it is for years to come. Nothing lasts forever, I know. But if there’s a place that feels like it exists outside of that rule, it’s this one.”

“They ignored me to the point where I wondered if they had any intention of selling it. I used to go there when it was in Shibuya or Omotesando because I passed by, but if I came all the way to this place, I'd probably go there again. Vintage items are almost gone. (Remade or halfway outdated? We sell Karen silver items and accessories)”

“20200224 First visit with my wife on a tour of vintage clothing stores in Harajuku. The store has a nice west coast American feel (maybe it's to be expected considering the name of the store...💧). However, the products are generally on the larger side, and there were many items that looked good but unfortunately didn't fit my petite wife! Next time, I'll ask the staff about the selection of small sizes. 20220807 Visited with my wife for the first time in a while. I didn't notice the issue of a limited selection of items in my wife's size. However, I think the number of items on display has decreased a little...? 👚 I didn't find anything that caught my eye this time, but it's a store that gives you hope for something, so I'll keep coming back✋”

“This is a cute second-hand clothing store for women on Cat Street. There are a lot of vintage clothes that are casual and sweet, but also have a mature look, and they are so cute that you will be comforted. We also sell remade shirts. The price is also affordable. The staff is very kind and I think it's a store that is easy for beginners to enter. I also appreciate that the staff doesn't ask me what I think after I try them on, which makes it really easy to choose clothes because I can try them on casually!”

“Good selection of second hand clothes... a bit pricey though.”
