Mintdesigns Aoyama

Step inside Japanese brand Mintdesigns’ very first stand-alone flagship store, where you’ll find a line-up of modern, minimalistic designs with exquisite attention to detail. Garments are simplistic in silhouette, but there is a commitment to textile innovation and quality materials. Having opened its doors in August 2016 in the backstreets of Aoyama, the new shop is designed by Jo Nagasaka from Schemata Architects. A contemporary gallery-like feel comes from the bare concrete walls and exposed ceilings. The store houses the full lineup, from the brand’s upmarket ready-to-wear gear to the more casual Sketch line, along with a homeware line and other products produced by Mintdesigns designers Hokuto Katsui and Nao Yagi. Limited-edition items will also be available in store, making for great gifts and Tokyo souvenirs. It’s full of print-tastic inspiration and charming adornments – you can’t help but smile when you step inside the shop.
