It is no secret that Tokyo is a shopper’s paradise. From high end fashion to traditional crafts there is something for everyone. As fashion and trends change at lightening speed in this city, the mainstream popularity of select shops is high.
A select shop is a space that gives a wide variety of choice to the shopper. A select shop will often display the latest finds from a wide range of labels, from shoes and bags to art and books. Always a colorful mix, it gives shoppers a wide variety of choice while at the same time offering a selected style.
A colorful mix – select items on display
A new form of select shop is emerging in the city and we at TokyoMade are such fans we are embracing the trend. Straying from the mainstream, guerrilla style select markets are popping up and closing down at a moments notice. In true market style these select shops often support local and independent artists and are housed in all number of locations from galleries and apartments to cafes and studios.
