NUIR VINTAGE Harajuku
“Arcade-bright bag shop by Takeshita Street: 5,000-plus bags, Chanel deep, claw machine with purchase.”
A ground-floor bag shop a minute from Takeshita Street, run by a Shibuya reseller that also holds dealer auctions. Over 5,000 pieces in a room that feels like an arcade, bags in every colour, and yes, a claw machine you get a go on after buying. It leans to trending shapes and designer collaborations.
Chanel is the deep end; the chain's newer Chanel-only shop spans the 80s to the 2020s. Gucci and Louis Vuitton fill the middle. Reviewers say prices are fair but you have to dig. Most of NUIR's customers are tourists, so go at 11 when it opens. Open until 8:30.
