I have loved this spot ever since it was waaay down towards Kent Ave. I’ve scored some fantastic vintage from yeaaars who that I still get compliments on to this day. Fantastic for special gifts (don’t sleep on the Vivienne Westwood socks and v chic pocket squares...and the silk scarves)!

I love this little store, the shopping equivalent of a mug of hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows. In the front are various Japanese-influenced gift items, like great odd stationery and TinTin notebooks. In the middle is a well-curated selection of vintage clothes for men and women at reasonable prices. In the back, behind the Vivienne Westwood socks (dirt cheap!), is a tiny neighborhood art gallery that's always showing interesting stuff. Clearly the owners have vision, and they're executing it very well.

My wife and I have never left this place without a healthy bag of items we couldn't have dreamed of before walking in. Lots of one of a kind (or low volume at the very least) Japanese wares, very thoughtfully curated, and sensibly priced. We usually do a once over together, and while she's trying things on, I'm usually pumping the dressing room with more gems. We usually have to put back 30% of the selects, because we blast through our intended budget very quickly. The women's selection has a wide range with something for just about every style; the men's section, on the other hand, is more narrowly Japanese hipster, new wave, and mod, with a touch of norm-core--doesn't really suit my tastes, but I'm pretty much straight Americana and cycling-tech focused, so not the intended audience. About Glamour and Rue St. Denis rank among the best vintage houses I've ever encountered, and I love that they're both in NYC.

Love this store! They always have the most interesting selection of clothes from great selection of designers (yohji yamamoto, comme des garcons, vintage European, Japanese designer). Staff is extremely knowledgeable and sweet!

This is a very cool store that I believe has been around for 20+ years. They curate their selection very carefully. Some higher end pieces from Vivienne Westwood are among their offerings. And absolutely the best selection of French Bretonne striped shirts (think Picasso). The owners are extremely gracious, polite and knowledgeable about their stock. It is a very comfortable environment in which to shop.

My favorite Japanese second-hand store. There are always some unique finds here (also appreciate the art gallery and stationery sections)!
