I found a secret local Thrift Shop in Japan! Thrift with Me! Poshmark Reseller on the hunt!

[@LorisBostonFound]

I had an incredible time thrifting in Tokyo, Japan! I found a local gem that is only open one day a week as well as some highly curated, amazing vintage spots! Come thrift with me and find out what I took home with me! I'll be posting more Tokyo content on my second channel in the upcoming weeks if you'd like to check it out! Thanks so much for watching!!

Lori, I gave a 3 yr old girl a stuffed dog and I told her about Lumpy. Her mom says she named it and all her other dogs Lumpy 🥰

[@heatherr1473]

Hello from Australia. I think the pieces of fabric you were given are furoshki which are used for wrapping a variety of objects of many shapes. The jackets (haori) look to have been made using a technique called miura shibori in which thread is looped around a small piece of fabric to create many small dots before it is placed into dye.

[@prancingqueen2464]

Hey Lori! Loved your video. I minored in Japanese and spent 3 months there in the late 80s...Just wanted to let you know your free gifts from salvation army are called furoshiki...a traditional way to wrap stuff up and carry it around 😂

[@LorisBostonFound]

That is so funny! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing! What a great experience that must have been for you!

The purple Kimono is gorgeous! The dogs at the Cafe were so cute. I hope they have families.

I lived in Japan for 1-1/2 years back in the 80's. I loved the people and culture.

[@bellesbottoms]

It’s nice that Jay is so supportive

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you! I feel so lucky! He's a trooper!

[@andreamaeda7190]

Glad you had a good time in Japan. The fabrics you showed at the end are furoshiki, a square piece of fabric used to wrap up gifts. You can see how they are used by searching for the word furoshiki.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank Andrea! I'm going to look them up!

[@ghostlyMostly1]

Hi Lori! Kimono are always full length ( they are usually made pretty long and folded under the obi to make it fit) and should always be worn crossed left to right. If its not full length and can be worn open, Its not a "traditional kimono". The short open jackets are haori. "Kimono" can also mean "clothes" but generally it refers to a long traditional kimono.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Thank you! I learn something new every day! 😊

[@newwithtagsconsignmentbout2541]

We have a “Doggie/Coffee Shop” here in Santa Barbara, CA that you get to meet the dogs and if you connect with one you can adopt them 😊or just sit and get your doggie fix ❤🐶❤

[@LorisBostonFound]

That is so sweet! I like that concept even better than this cafe. I wondered who cares these pups at night! The idea that they could be adopted is wonderful!

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

We have a cat cafe in Vancouver, Canada but i dont think it's open very often because people keep adopting all the kitties.

[@npbsstuff]

My son has a vintage clothing business and there friends he's made that come here every few months from Japan to buy from him to sell back in Japan. Mostly Levi's & denim

[@LorisBostonFound]

That is so interesting!! I was fascinated by their shops and I barely scratched the surface!

[@npbsstuff]

I went to Harajuku in the early 2000s. It was wild... The young girls all carried suitcases with the clothes they left their house in so their parents wouldn't know they were dressing in lolita style.

[@beeveedee9355]

Room to bring stuff back is always such s struggle. When i visited Okinawa when my Navy brother and his family were stationed there, i brought back prints by a local artist and local pottery. This was 2010/11, long before i started thrifting. I now wish I'd visited the thrift stores. I hit the 1000 Yen store (their equivalent of Dollar Tree), and got food/candy goodies, and even some small mass produced dishes. And Uniqlo was frustrating because all their sizing is so small! I loved the drink machines everywhere, and you're right: it is a very clean culture. They are so artful with everything. A walk thru a grocery produce section was a visual feast just from how they displayed things. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to plan a trip to visit my Japanese friend in Kobe.

[@deannacarrigan3344]

It was so cool to see the thrifting in Japan. You and Jay are so cute together.

I have 3 kimono - I took one to San Francisco a few years ago and styled it with a corset top and black crepe pants.

Japanese love vintage American clothing. I lived near Tokyo at Yokota Air Base for 3 1/2 years. Great gifts are rice wallets. Beautiful designs and they come in paper outer boxes ready for gift giving. Such a great place to visit. Enjoy.

[@devonneshort4749]

Lori how fun to go to Tokyo! I would love thrifting there! I want to check out the handbag second hand market!🥰

[@Tuxedomilo6368]

That red kimono with crochet is called Haori I believe. It's kinda jacket for a kimono. Also those lettering on fabrics say they are special souvenirs/ novelty from 21st Japan Tourism Photo Exhibition by Japan Transportation Culture Association. And I believe they are Furoshiki which is for wrapping your item for currying or wrapping a gift. I'm not 100%sure since I didn't see the shape. But if it's square, it could be a Furoshiki

[@a.joyfulnoise]

The red kimono is stunning!! Thank you so much for taking us a long. It’s so fun to watch you and to hear your pearls of wisdom ❤

[@theupcycledshed]

What a fun experience! Life is so short not to have cool adventures! I went to Vegas and Arizona in June for a week. My pups were all over me when I got home and after about 10 minutes of pets and kisses, my boy Apollo turned his back on me and pouted for an hour as if to say How Dare You Leave Me! 😂 They're so spoiled lol!

[@dmreddragon6]

As far as not having many tourist, and cheaper hotel prices, you picked a good time to visit the desert. Summers are tough tho!

[@Theclosetscratcher]

@dmreddragon6 it was definitely a little warm, but I absolutely loved Arizona! I stayed with friends who live close to Phoenix, so that was a bonus on not having to get a hotel room. Vegas was fun, but Arizona was beautiful and relaxing.
