Best Thrifting in Tokyo? Shopping in Shimokitazawa

[@WasukAlhabal]

Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about *preluxz* obsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.

[@jrkeys9540]

Hey Lucy sending you love and light always ✨💖✨

[@LucyLivinYT]

that's so sweet, thank you so much 💗💖🩷

[@SpartanoFow]

I live close to the Mexico border. I always go for*preluxz* , their quality is great. Some of them are made with leather and really hard to tell the difference from real or not. Either way, it’s your choice. No judgement from me

[@WasukAlhabal]

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *preluxz* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

[@marikotrue3488]

Always enjoy these virtual trips to Japan. With Lucy's assist I have determined that Koenji vintage shopping is where I would concentrate my time.

[@SpartanoFow]

*preluxz* shopping etiquette. Explaining what the general rules are, how to approach an SA, how to dress, how stores may differ. Something like a step-by-step for newbies (like me) who feel out of their depth. The thing I worry about an the awkward moment when I've spent 20mins drooling over a bag just to turn and leave empty-handed. Idk what to say! Maybe that sounds dumb but I'm so awkward, I don't want to come off as rude or uncomfortable, it's not their fault I'm an anxious mess.

Glad to see a new video~ I hope you are doing ok. 💞

[@WasukAlhabal]

Yes I know not everyone can afford these bags, but wouldn't people want to know other people's experiences with this bag before wasting their money? Like other KZbinrs have said about this bag, I got a *preluxz* and I'm very happy with my bag. Thanks to the blogger, I showed this video to my sister and now she will definitely get the Louis Vuitton bag she has always wanted! Love this kind of videos!!

I'm personally bot super into thrifting but it was nice to see your experience and take on shimokitazawa in 2023. I personally enjoyed strolling through there last year and felt the vibes were really nice and cosy there, so we agree on that one!

[@SpartanoFow]

I have two pre-loved*preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.

Eep, I've been hoping for an upload soon. Although I will admit I was hoping for moving/ spring out the apartment vlogs, but this is just a good. I hope you're doing well 🩷

[@LucyLivinYT]

Those are in the queue and on their way soon! ✨️ I hope you enjoy, and thank you for your patience and watching my videos 🥺💖💕

[@_jo-jo_]

I'm happy to watch anything you upload, and I did enjoy this, it's simply that my personal faves are declutter/home/moving/organising style. Thank you, take care and take your time, we'll be here waiting when you're ready 😊

[@ocean_and_spring]

so happy to see a new video! always makes the day a little brighter :D what fun thrifting!!

[@ActualLiliCakes]

Always so happy to see a video from you, but a Japan shopping video is extra exciting!

[@HelloCaitieO]

Yay! A Lucy video to watch while I work ❤

[@paranormalnora]

Thank you for taking us with you 😊

[@Pyrites24]

Yay a new Lucy video! Really interesting to hear how you felt Shimokitazawa had changed, I'll definitely be rewatching the Koenji video ahead of my next trip to see if my personal thrift vibes would be better serviced there instead. Wishing you lots of love and good vibes in your new home and in general 💖

[@LucyLivinYT]

Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed! It's absolutely personal preference - my Harajuku/Aoyama video also had a few second-hand / thrifting spots as well so totally depends on you! Thank you so much, that's so lovely of you 💗💖💕

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

The only time I went to shimokita, I was there during a ton of construction and I was pretty disappointed. It was fun but as someone who thrifts in the u.s. the selection was meh. I found stuff there that would've been significantly cheaper in the u.s. at the time. Def should've checked out koenji since it's pretty close to nakano broadway (I think) and I love going to nakano broadway. The last time I was in Japan was 2018 and I would love to go back to see what's changed

[@tansangirlie]

shimokita is fun but I like it more for the vibes than actual shopping cause nothing is really my style and I generally find the items a little pricey. I'm sure if you look around more and check out a lot of stores, you can find something, but there's no saying that you can't just walk into any 2nd street shop anywhere and find a gem there either. But it is a nice place for food and drinks too, it has some stylish cafe's. Don't go there too often though cause I do have to go out of my way to get there xD

[@sutherland_steffensen]

you would look cute with the pamela anderson updo. Especially with a curly hair routine, can't tell if you have curly or wavy/curly hair though. Get the curl clumping brush with thin bristles and teeth on the sides of the brush and use it in a curly hair routine, it will give you the best idea of your curl/wave hair type if you don't already know :)

[@lz738]

Wondering when you were in Japan? Was it spring or summer of this year? Did you go right after your North American trip? You've traveled so much this year! Will you be doing some Japan vlogs or other Japan trip content?

[@LucyLivinYT]

Hehe this one is actually from spring of last year! I have a few more videos that I hadn't edited yet 👀

[@dottieland7061]

Shimo has changed a lot over the years. I work for Chicago in harajuku and we have stayed true. It’s sad.

[@melissadenomy6816]

I swear I had that pink cat sweatshirt when I was 7

[@zancaredler]

kislux I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter

[@rozharris6834]

Me guessing it was Shimokitazawa before I even saw the full title. Haha.

[@LucyLivinYT]

Your powerful mind 🧠🧠🧠 hehe

[@kristinacetinski]
