Paradise Vintage Harajuku
“The main Paradise room: few bags, top prices, Hermès and Chanel near new and arranged by colour.”
A pared-back room on the Jingumae 6-chome backstreets, and the more expensive of Paradise Vintage's two shops. It sells bags almost only: Hermès Birkin, Kelly, Constance and Lindy, Chanel flaps, and Louis Vuitton. Few pieces, each picked for condition and style, close to new, arranged by colour.
The Chanel runs from 1980s matelassé to recent seasons, so read the hardware and the serial before you fall for a colour. Hermès is the draw: a Hong Kong guide calls its prices very attractive. Noon to 8 daily. The second shop across the road has the wider brand mix.
Brand collections
- 1990s
Classic and double flaps from the 80s and 90s up to current seasons; reviewers note shapes they had not seen elsewhere.
- 2000s
Birkin, Kelly, Constance, Lindy and Picotin, plus a 'rare finds' line; a Kelly 25 listed near 4 million yen, so this is where the money goes.
Monogram, Damier, Epi and denim plus collaboration pieces, the lighter-priced end of the Paradise web shop.
