Flamingo (Shimokitazawa Store)

A bright-pink neon flamingo sign marks this vintage clothing shop, making it a familiar landmark for those hunting through the winding streets of Shimokitazawa. The store is part of a larger network that has helped define the neighborhood’s reputation as a center for secondhand fashion in Tokyo. Since opening its Shimokitazawa location in two thousand five, the shop has specialized in imported American vintage clothing, with a range that spans from the nineteen forties through the nineteen eighties.
