Wonderful store, really great selection of clothes & jewelry. Custom pieces and curated items. Nice selection, lovely quality. I found the staff to be wonderful and were very helpful. Made a bracelet for me on the spot and took a lot of care to make it right. Will definitely be back!

This is one of my favorite retailers in the US, stocking amazing Japanese designers, like one of my favorite, Kapital.
They also stock Porter!
The staff are engaged and knowledgeable, and stylish as anything.
The clothes are incredible, and if you are looking for some gifts, check out their printed bandanas.
Every time I’m in SF I make sure to pay a visit.

Cute shop carry a tightly currated selection of Japanese designer clothes like Kapital, FITH, Porter, and various unique accessories. The shopkeeper is very friendly and eager to talk about back stories, San Francisco's retail scene, and just life. One of the most endearing parts of the store is their small selection of kids clothes. You can never get started too young on becoming a fashionista, and this is leaps and bounds above 99% of what is available. You'll pay a premium for it, but fashion has always required some effort. Overall, strongly recommend visiting this store.

My partner recently bought me a necklace from this store and it is lovely! I'd been looking at it online from the artist themself for 300$. He bought it from this store for a total of 747$. I told him that was little crazy and called the store asking why there was such a discrepancy, and she explained to me that as they are a business, they simply must mark up the necklace 149% to make money and that the product was imported. If I had ordered the necklace off of the artist's site where the import fee was 20$, it would still imported. While I understand that the woman on the phone probably doesn't set the prices, I feel a bit deflated that something that was meant to be a gift kind of feels like a money grab. If you ever see something cute in here again, just go to the artist. Not worth the money.

Don’t know where the bad reviews come from. The owner Eiko was super friendly and accommodating. I tried on a few things and she even gave some recommendations . Eventually decided on a Type 1 Century Denim Jacket. Would recommend to any Japanese Americana fans in the Bay Area! 11/10

Owner Eiko is very rude, yells across the room which made me very uncomfortable while shopping. Since I also understand Japanese I felt very bad for the worker(s) and customers. Owner looks down on customers, says if they aren’t buying don’t bother. The Kapital products are great if you know what you want, I’d rather go to Japan and buy it for half the price and also travel there instead of dropping my money here. I am embarrassed to bring anyone I know since they are likely to be mistreated. Japanese owner but no Japanese Service at all.

Awesome shop in Hayes Valley that carry Kapital! The store is small and easy to shop.
Staff is friendly and ready to help without being annoying and pushy. I was encouraged to try on and luckily found something that fit to my liking and left with an indigo tee. Checkout their bananas, they're super rad and sell out quickly.
Will definitely return. I love walking my dog by the storefront in the early morning to see the cool merchandising they do on the front mannequins. Love the style and feel of everything

Glad there’s someone doing some diverse clothing stuff in SF, but no ability to return something (even after 1 day, still in packaging, with receipt) is not acceptable for retail shopping. especially at avg price point of $500 / item.
Surprising they haven’t addressed this given how consistently negative the comments are.
