Recently, this pink store that BLACKPINK's Jennie was released on IG successfully attracted my attention!
MIMIDONUT
77-4Seoul, Dongqiaodong, Mapo District, Seoul, even Jennie is checking in on a busy itinerary. This small shop called "MIMIDONUT" seems not simple. After searching, I found that this was a very popular retro toy store located in Hongdae, with more than 40,000 fans on IG alone.
IG guide
If you often follow and the Korean wave fairy, you should have discovered that Smida has really been fascinated by the "retro style" in the past two years. From the "retro film big-headed stickers" introduced by Zhou Xiaohui before, to the retro walkman, vinyl records that often appear in variety shows, it seems that everyone has been on the time machine.
This is why the "retro toy craze" has become popular again. At the beginning, I was attracted by MIMIDONUT's pink and tender appearance, and when I walked in, I even made people shout "It's so cute", just like walking into a girl's bedroom, full of toys from my memory!
Disney, Sesame Street, and girls’ favorite Barbie dolls, , Snoopy, etc. They are all childhood playmates of the post-80s and post-90s! reminds me of the days when I played Barbie dolls with my sister next door
Healing Care Bears
Dreamworks Troll dolls also have!
In addition to buying some old toys, there are also many new toys. Recently, because of the hit screening of " Toy Story 4", MIMIDONUT has even arranged a "Toy Story Corner" in the store.
has attracted a lot of toy fans to check in, including our Jennie~
She also bought the DIY toy set of the new character Forky.
Jennie with his name written under his feet is really cute~
Of course, to find a baby, you need a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, because every corner here is filled with toys, and even the refrigerator is open is a troll doll!
However, because there are too many, the price of toys will not be marked directly, so you need to ask the clerk. Zhou Xiaohui recommends . If you see your favorite childhood toy, you will ask what price you want and just take it to pay!
JOUJOUMARKET
No. 40, Shincangro 2nd Street, Mapo District, Seoul 1F
The retro toy store favored by Jennie is more than MIMIDONUT. She and Lisa also went to this JOUJOUMARKET together to check in~
At first glance, the style of JOUJOUMARKET is similar to MIMIDONUT, but this is actually a small store under the Korean brand LUV IS TRUE. When you see this pink retro game console at the door, it is their logo~
and it can be played in real life.
is much simpler than MIMIDONUT where toys are stuffed in every corner.
TED bear, Care Bears, Little Mermaid Toy Set, etc. The types of toys are similar. However, Zhou Xiaohui found that there were more toys around here.
This Furby elf is a bit cute
Love stickers that you can stick on your ears as earrings when you were a child,
The stamp of "Little Pony",
Snoopy cartoon tape,
and Sesame Street's "Bathing Ball", etc., are all easy to buy.
is right, here are the clothes for the new season of LUV IS TRUE.
Maison De Aloha
Sijiudong, Mapo District, Seoul, 336-12
Compared to the first two stores, when I walked into Maison De Aloha and saw the locker covered with stickers of European and American celebrities from the 1990s, I felt like I suddenly traveled to the American youth movie.
There is even a Girl Talk series novel that is also very popular in the second-hand market in foreign countries. Harry Potter is still playing in a loop in a small retro TV in the store. I believe the owner must be a Harry fan.
Compared with toys, some strange retro decorations stored here attract my attention.For example, the table lamp with chicken legs, the small mermaid storage basin with
shell, the cat clock with
retro and slightly creepy, and the popular photo prop in the store - a purple toy pistol, which is enough to pose for half a day.
Of different festivals, the store will also change to different styles of old dolls, like Halloween ghost kid Chaji. :)
Rolaa_Store
IG: rolaa_store
The next Rolaa_Store, Zhou Xiaohui, saw this Rolaa_Store on IG at the beginning. It was originally a retro store that mainly sells vintage dresses, but bloggers often post many super retro mini appliances, which is so cute!
Disney TV + DVD player!
Bread Superman Small Refrigerator!
PINGU Penguin Family!
day and I also have queer when I was a kid, this is a toaster!
Buerjia's electric thermos
Bread Superman's popcorn machine
Buerjia's toaster
and Snoopy ice shaving machine!
Many mini small appliances were launched in the form of toys before, but they didn’t expect that they are becoming popular again now! I really want to have every one.
toy sewing machine!
But after checking, I found that the physical store is far away in Changwon City, South Korea (don’t ask me where I am, I am road blind). In short, the possibility of going there is relatively small, so if you like it, you might as well follow and IG on on a daily basis~
quickly save it. Next time you go to Seoul, remember to go to Taobao!
