Love the vintage shopping in Japan! Interesting to see the prices. I did find when we went a pre COVID that the preloved stores in Shinjuku were much cheaper than the stores in Ginza. You did see more Hermes and some of the extremely rare and expensive items in Ginza but the prices were definitely higher overall even for more common items. We found some great bargains in Shinjuku and surrounds.

the LYXBAG would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

Many vintage bags seemed quite overpriced. Personally, I'd rather buy it straight from the boutique if the cost is similar or more than the cost of a new one. While some vintage bags may be gold plated (ie Chanel ), for me, it doesn't make sense to spend so much on a pre-loved bag. They're all in great condition though. Thanks for taking the time to show us everything and happy anniversary! 😊

I found the stores in Ginza much much more expensive than the stores in Shinjuku. Granted it’s been awhile since I was there but we definitely noticed the difference. We bought all our preloved in Shinjuku and surrounds.

thank you for taking us on your trip and also showing prices for the preloved items. Other KZbinrs make it seem like it’s a haven for cheap (inexpensive) pre loved items. I guess there is a price to pay to be able to buy items that you can be assured that they are authentic.

When I saw your video pop up,I stopped the one I was watching because you are my favorite❣️✨✨ I just adore your vlogs,it’s like being there witch you both.. To start: ✨✨💞HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MEL AND HUBBY❣️🍾🥂🍓🍫💐🌹💞✨✨ I wish you many many more happy years to come❣️💝♾️💝 A friend of mine is going to Japan the beginning of October…I wish I could go with her,it’s one of my biggest wishes and dreams.I will have to save up for it and I would have to know that my sick son (42 years old,father of two and in a nursing home😢)would be okay for a while without me. I go 3 times a week for 6-7 hours each time to help him. He just move to another home and I am hoping that this one will be better than the others he was in.Fingers crossed 🤞🏻.😊 I can hardly wait for your next video.🙏🏻🥰

Yes unfortunately the preloved stores have brought the prices up ever since the yen dropped and all the tourists flocked in for shopping, Japan no longer a good place to hunt for massive discounted pieces, but occasionally you do find some gems laying around!
