However i can say i have no advice for you about specialised consignmenet stores in osaka// i found none im afriad

      Did you pick them up at a Rag Tag or Kindal in Osaka, or was it a more specialised consignment store?


      here is this shop which i have been there before and thought it was really worth a visit especially if you are looking for Comme des garcons and yohji. Shop name 10tow near tokyu hands shibuya. its pretty hard to find as it is located at 3rd or 4th floor above shoplots. You may need to try and go in the morning

        This shop was great! I actually didn't read this post in time, but it was suggested to me by one of the staff members at my hostel. Picked up a long boiled wool Yohji coat.

          Worth mentioning that a lot of these stores have in store discounts that aren't reflected in their online listings on Rakuten, etc.

            for me its the opposite where i have to literally go and tell them to give me the rakuten price but they price match and its fine, but you're not wrong about time sales on the occasion.

              Actually enjoyed visiting a few of the '2nd Street' second hand shops around tokyo - GF's an avid thrifter and dragged me there. Wasn't expecting much at all, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. An absolute crapshoot, mountains of 500yen garbage with a small section of high end stuff such as Ann D, yohji, Comme, Undercover, Rick Owens, & even some PH. I collect records and it gave me that same vibe of crate digging, occasionally unearthing a gem. Fun, but only if you got the time to dig though.

              Also, cheers for the 10tow recommendations in here, fantastic store.

                I will Be in Tokyo and Osaka from May 17-28. Any sales I should seek out that are likely to start that early?

                      Seeing as we're all asking I guess I'll chip in. Is anything happening from late July to mid August in Tokyo or Osaka? Not just in terms of sales or fashion, I'm also interested in events or happenings during that time, though it may be too early to ask.

                        i think there is a music festival around that time(fuji?)...however, im pretty sure those events are lotto style so if you decide on that good luck! also, usually at some point in august volgavolga has their sale. of course depending on the weeks, you might catch the tail end of some of the S/S moving out from some brands. if you are in osaka Fascinate always has a very large stock (or backstock) of devoa if you are into that. be careful around that time because its pretty wet and very very warm.

                            basically youre better off buying japanese brands in japan, sounds obvious but until EPA (european trade agreement) actualizes (aw19) the prices wont be fun.

                            NUBIAN and Boutique w have mainline.

                                I'm very surprised La Grande Lue in Osaka hasn't been mentioned anywhere on the forum yet, I went just today and it's a truly amazing store specialising in vintage Yohji Yamamoto. Clothes are literally packed to the walls and hanging off the ceiling, and the condition on everything is very good, which is reflected in the prices. The owner, Mizogami-san, says that there are about 2,000 pieces from Yohji, and he's very welcoming and knowledgeable. まーsan is also really helpful and hilarious. Please go if you are in the area, it was 1h of train from the Dotonbori area but 100% worth it.

                                The store also has an instagram @masayukimizogami
