If you are a shopaholic, then you will definitely have a strong interest in Japanese cosmetics and electrical appliances when you visit Japan. However, experienced women who buy and buy also need to know that Japan’s second-hand luxury stores are also popular places for all kinds of fashionable people.
The industry that engages in the buying and selling of second-hand goods in Japan is called "Middle Ages" (ちゅうこ). The original meaning is second-hand, because there is no word "old" in the Japanese dictionary, and the antonym of new is ancient, so middle ages means not new. Merchants specializing in the second-hand industry are called "Middle Ages Stores."
Japanese people are almost extravagant in their love for luxury goods. According to the editor, the latest and most expensive styles in the world will appear in the Japanese market.
Moreover, Japan's overall economic level is still quite high, so its spending power is relatively strong, and ordinary people can afford luxury goods with their wages.
Everyone likes it and can afford it. It is not difficult to imagine the popularity of Japanese luxury goods in China.
As more people buy them, a situation will naturally arise. Japan eliminates luxury goods very frequently, which leads to the emergence of a large number of luxury goods. Therefore, the recycling and acquisition of second-hand luxury goods has slowly become an industry.
Of course, people who don’t know much about Japanese second-hand stores will have some questions and misunderstandings. Neon Jun has collected them, and there are roughly the following.
1, will second-hand products have many defects?
This should be an issue that everyone is more concerned about. First of all, second-hand products give people the impression that they are defective, but in fact, the second-hand products in Japan are different, and most of them are in good condition. Most of them are 89% new, and some are brand new, and even the product hangtags are well preserved.
is equivalent to a new product. You can buy a second-hand product you like at half the price of a new product.
2, if there are flaws, how can we ordinary people identify them?
In fact, there is no need to worry about this problem. Generally, there are letters marked on the hangtags in the store to indicate the newness of the product.
N is brand new, S is unused, SA has been used several times without obvious flaws, A has traces of use, B has obvious traces of use, C is partially damaged and has obvious stains, and J is a faulty product (not recommended for purchase).
The above information is particularly important for friends who go shopping in second-hand stores, so you will definitely remember it.
3, are there fakes in second-hand stores?
This is also one of the issues that everyone is most concerned about. What Yibei wants to say is that the Japanese really pay attention to integrity, and their laws on the sale of fake goods are very strict.
In addition, the second-hand store has a complete consignment system. The consignor must provide identification and address. If any problem occurs, it can be traced back to the owner of the goods.
has a complete system from supply to sale to ensure the quality of the products, so don’t worry too much.
This consumption concept has led to a very high frequency of buying luxury goods and eliminating luxury goods in Japan. With the emergence of a large number of second-hand luxury goods, the recycling and acquisition of second-hand luxury goods has become an industry.
There are many luxury second-hand stores in Japan, also called second-hand stores. The more famous luxury second-hand stores include
Daikokuya
. The stores mainly sell expensive goods, such as expensive Hermès and diamond-encrusted Cartier , limited edition LV bags, precious Chanel furs, etc.
Daikokuya is considered the most famous chain of second-hand stores in Japan. Many friends who have been to Japan say that Daikokuya is suitable as the first stop in Tokyo.
In Tokyo alone, Daikokuya has 8 stores. Among them, the Shinjuku main store provides Chinese services, so you don’t have to worry about communication problems.
Komehyo Mibing
Komehyo is the largest second-hand brand department store in Japan. The Shinjuku branch of
has eight floors. In addition to second-hand products, there are also many new products. It also has brand appraisers, making it a relatively reliable store.
Many limited edition luxury goods will open your eyes.This store has a lot of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces from big brands like Chanel, Dior, and most of them are brand new or 90% new.
Brand Off.
A fan told the editor that after shopping all the second-hand stores in Tokyo, Daikokuya and Brand Off are the two best places to visit! Brand Off is the originator of Japanese second-hand luxury goods.
's second-hand business has become international, with more than 50 stores around the world.
Generally speaking; Brand off is mainly famous for LV. The main store is in Ginza . Hermès and Fendi bags are also very complete.
I believe that through the above introduction, you will definitely have a certain understanding of Japanese luxury goods.
Of course, this does not mean that we advocate vanity. Everyone yearns for luxury goods, but because the wallet is too thin, it is not necessarily impossible for Yibei to think that second-hand items are not suitable.
Anyway, according to your own consumption capacity, you can have whatever you can afford, which is not considered vanity.
