Big Time Kyoto

“For starters the place is overpriced for "vintage" goods when they're actually retro style - tourist trap and even tourists don't spend this money from clothes that look semi cheap from a charity shop. Secondly I tried disposing my *empty* food container to shop and the store employee said they didnt have a trash bin. So you as a store don't have a bin at all for customers to shop in a no food store? Lies.”

“NOT TOURIST FRIENDLY, SO MANY TOURISTS HAVE HAD AWFUL EXPERIENCES The store clerk with a lip piercing was incredibly rude. She pointed at a sign that asked us to check for scratches and stains, so we did. After finding a bald spot on the fur coat we were considering for purchase, we let her know that we no longer wanted to purchase it and apologized. She made a “tsk” sound and gave us a nasty look. We asked if she wanted us to help her put it back, and she totally ignored us. We asked again, and she ignored us again. We aren’t even tourists, we live here. I won’t come back. Read the rest of the reviews. So many similar experiences.”

“As another reviewer said, there are actual vintage stuff at the back but the front is more clothes destined to look vintage Even though I did buy some stuff i have to say that the staff who served us had a proper attitude problem.... No smile. No thank you. Totally unprofessional given the job he's doing If you don't like your job or tourists (i get it, it can be overwhelming) then either change jobs or at least pretend you're enjoying it. Life is too short!”

“They follow Black Americans in the store and watch them like hawks. Won’t return. There were different sets of people in the store but the clerk felt the need to re-fold shirts as he watched our every move - we locked eyes through the racks. Weird behavior from an Asian dude with dreadlocks. Lowe vintage is pretty cool, awesome people and experience.”

“The most unique, beautiful, well atmosphere second-hand shop I've ever been at. A lot of boho-chic but also romantic vibe. Such an interesting experience. SO EXPENSIVE THOUGH (for second hand)”
