The edit · Private fabric shopping tour
A private fabric shopping tour through Nippori fabric town in Tokyo — the way an insider would do it.
Why this experience
A fabric town like Nippori is where makers buy their cloth. A guide shows you which bolts are worth the weight in your suitcase.
The Tokyo vintage scene
Tokyo's vintage lives in Shimokitazawa and Koenji, where second-hand is a craft rather than an afterthought, and in Nippori's fabric town where makers buy their cloth. Subculture and quality share the same blocks.
What to expect
A private route, around 2 hours 30 minutes.
How to make the most of it
Buy by the metre, not the piece, and photograph the label so you can reorder once you are home.
