BerBerJin is a well-established American vintage shop in Harajuku which has quickly become a destination for avid vintage shoppers coming through Tokyo. This sister shop of the main BerBerJin focuses on offering pop culture T-shirts and sweatshirts – all rare finds personally sourced by store manager Aoki-san on buying trips through the US.
Prices range from ¥6,000 to ¥20,000, with a selection that includes anime, band and movie-themed T-shirts. According to Aoki, vintage anime tees have surged in popularity over the past three years, with prices steadily rising. Despite the trend, the store remains committed to fair pricing, often offering pieces below market value. So what’s the next big trend? Aoki predicts that T-shirts inspired by Eames and vintage furniture designs just might be.
