komehyo

So I read about the second hand stores In Japan that are super popular with the tourists. I wasn’t on planning on shopping but we stopped by here to see if they really have good deals.
Upon walking in, I wasn’t sure if I was even in the correct place because it looked like a fancy department store. I think they had 8 levels here and some floors even had security.
I checked out their bags; 90% were high end designers (Gucci, lv, Hermes, etc…) They did have some coach and Michael Kors but their prices there was more expensive than a brand new one in the US.
I was actually eyeing a LV bag but I checked online and the price difference between a new one and a used one was not that much so I passed on it.
As we were leaving, they had some jewelry on the display case so I started browsing. This cross diamond earrings caught my eye so I did currency conversion on my phone. I thought to myself, this must be cubic zirconia because I couldn’t believe the price. I asked the sales person and she told me that they are real diamonds so I bought it. I should’ve bought the matching necklace as well.

If these types of places exist in the States, I would be so happy.
Sure we have consignment stores and discount stores like Nordstrom Rack, but my many hours of shopping at those kinds of places did not prepare me for Komehyo. It’s like Nordstrom Rack except all the goods are secondhand and they’re like 90% high end designer like Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, etc.
It is insane. I have never seen so many brands clustered like so. I have never see bins of Louis Vuitton bags just hanging out.
The prices here seem reasonable although a bit higher than say Daikokuya’s prices. But they’re all still well under what you’d pay for full price retail.
So many Chanel wallets just waiting to be claimed! Seriously if I didn’t just spend $ 2500 on a Chanel bag I would seriously consider buying one of the wallets here.
They have a floor of clothing and shoes. I saw a lot of pretty gems there. A pair of Gucci sandals for a mere ¥5900 was very tempting.

Hands down, some of the best shopping in Tokyo. 8 floors of designer — high-​end and only slightly lower-​end goods. Purses, shoes, clothing, jewelry, watches, etc. Both new and used. Used articles — especially accessories — are top notch. I’m always looking for evidence of wear on used items and rarely can find it in the goods Komehyo sells. And depending on whether or not you find wearing someone else’s ring bad luck, their jewelry section is pretty amazing. I once scored a beautiful rose gold Swarovski ring for $ 90 that retailed for 5x more. Plan accordingly: 8 floors requires some stamina, but the thrill of the hunt makes it worth it. If you love finding treasures at Marshall’s/Loehmann’s/Nordstrom Rack/​etc., Komehyo is your heaven.

This is a re-​use shop.
So it sells many used things.
One big feature is location.
There are many high-​class stores, department stores, and some shops like that.
So I first though this is awkward.
But it seems not the case.
This is as clean as other nearby stores, so this has enough energy to compete with those stores.
This is relatively newly build, so those who come Shinjuku after a long absence, you should drop in here.
You may see the new aspect of Shinjuku.
