“Fourth-floor Chanel specialist: year-stamped 90s costume jewellery and flap bags sold with their cards.”

A small fourth-floor room in the Castillo building, mostly vintage Chanel, picked for condition. Flap bags come with their serial cards. The fun is in the year-stamped jewellery: 1993 lava-stone and pearl tassel earrings, 1996 CC turnlock clips, 1999 rubber logo bracelets around ¥40,000. Chanel shoes and odd collector pieces too, from a logo belt to suspenders.

Chanel earrings mostly ¥65,000 to ¥130,000; bags ¥430,000 and up, a classic flap over ¥1,000,000. The cheaper drawer is non-Chanel: German-made Dior and Givenchy earrings from ¥20,000. Weekends open 12:00, so go on a weekday.
