this is a kate spade coin purse for
twenty dollars that's really cute next
to it is a gucci wallet for 150 that's
probably a six hundred dollar wallet i'd
say but it's quite old it looks like
it's maybe vintage or maybe at least 20
or 30 years old well guys i'm finally
making a video about buying vintage
louis vuitton in japan or at least not
necessarily vintage louis vuitton but
just luxury items in general that you
can buy in japan now i've talked about
this several times before on my channel
that i have found some incredible
bargains in the past in japan i've
picked up some beautiful louis vuitton
bags that i would consider to be in very
good condition in japan they're a lot
fussier about the condition of their
used items so when you go into a
consignment store for example where
someone will take in their second hand
louis vuitton and the store will sell it
on their behalf and then the store takes
commission and then the person that sold
it obviously gets the rest usually what
they'll do they will assess the item and
if there's any scuffs or marks or like
if the handles are dirty or something
like that they won't get a very good
price for it now in australia i feel
like we don't really care so much about
things like that you know if we manage
to pick up a louis vuitton handbag for
half the price because it's got a little
scratch on it well that's fantastic so
for example if you were to buy a louis
vuitton alma handbag new they could go
anywhere from two thousand to five
thousand dollars depending on what type
of leather if it's epi leather if it's a
monogram if it's a demi arabian demi or
azure print what year that it was made
things like that you're looking at
thousands of dollars now picture buying
a second hand bag in japan and you walk
into a store and you see one and you
think that's the most beautiful thing
i've ever seen why is that only five
hundred dollars instead of two and a
half thousand it looks brand new and
then you'll go to buy it and behind the
counter they'll say to you they'll pick
it up and then they'll they'll start
pointing out little things that you
didn't even notice they'll point out a
little scratch or they'll point out
maybe it's a little bit dirty on the
handles and they'll open it and maybe
there's a little bit of a tear on the
inside and that's why it's so much
cheaper so today this video is all about
showing you guys where in tokyo you can
find used
vintage luxury items sometimes they're
even brand new it just depends where
you're going and what you're looking for
i have four particular items i'm on the
hunt for if i manage to find one of
these items at a good price i will buy
it today but i come to japan a fair bit
and if i don't find it on this trip i
might find it on the next trip so i'm
not in a desperate hurry but there's
four items i'm looking for i'm looking
for maybe a dior saddle bag which i used
to hate the design of but it's really
started to grow on me now maybe a louis
vuitton backpack of some sort a chanel
bag is like my dream but chanel bags are
so expensive also there's this new one
called the louis vuitton multi pochette
accessories that is a stunning bag
combination now brand new i mean that
only came out this year but you do
sometimes find brand new items
secondhand maybe they've used them for a
couple of months and then they try to
sell it you know maybe they've come into
financial difficulties and they need to
sell something that's brand new so a lot
of these stores i'm going to be showing
you today you will find a brand new
louis vuitton items for half the price
you'll find second hand louis vuitton
items for a third of the price you'll
find gucci dior prada balenciaga birkin
bags by irme birken bags are still very
expensive but um right now i'm starting
off the day in koenji koenji is an outer
suburb it's outside of tokyo it takes
about 20 minutes you can go on the jr
line to koenji station or you can go to
shinkoenji on the metro line
engi i prefer to go there because it's a
really beautiful walk from shin koenji
station all the way up to koenji you
have these beautiful little streets and
they're full of second-hand stores if
you're interested in the luxury items
occasionally you will come across a
store that sells luxury items really
really cheap like this case here louis
vuitton case that i found for about
forty dollars also this little coin
purse was a hundred dollars if you keep
walking all the way up this street you
do eventually get to this uh undercover
shopping mall and there's a really great
secondhand louis vuitton luxury good
dealer here now in the outer suburbs
things are going to be a bit cheaper
than what they are in shinjuku for
example but you will have limited items
they won't have anywhere near as much or
you probably won't find new items as
much as you would in shinjuku so later
on today i'll take you to shinjuku i
actually i don't know the names of the
stores i've i just walked past them and
i see them i know where the good ones
are i know where the overpriced ones are
so once we get there i'll be able to
show you the shop front and i'll put
some map locations in the description
box below in case you want to find them
yourself shinjuku there's countless
countless stores that sell luxury items
but this one in koenji that we're
heading to now i don't know if we'll
find anything necessarily at least i'll
get to show you the sort of things that
you can expect to find there's also one
of these porn shops in my local place
where i'm staying which is akasaka this
little porn shop here they don't have
huge amounts of stock but they are
cheaper than shinjuku i would say if
you're looking at older items obviously
if the items are newer they're going to
be a bit more expensive but you could
pick up a bag for 200 to 500 that in
australia at least we would consider in
excellent condition but maybe in japan
they would think it's not so great now
some people are going to be asking about
whether these products are authentic or
not and the thing is you can pretty much
shop confidently in japan because when
they go into these consignment stores
they always authenticate the item you
won't get a certificate saying that it's
an authentic item but they won't accept
items that are fake and they will not
sell them because that's the store's
reputation on the line they're not going
to sell something that's fake i've never
bought a fake in japan i've also bought
things taken them back to australia had
them authenticated at the louis vuitton
store and i've never had a fake item
even though the price might look like it
could be a fake item because it's so
cheap it's probably just because in
japan they think that it's a little bit
too dirty to be sold at a higher price
so anyway with that let's have a little
walk through koenji there's a couple of
shops here i want to show you there's
porn shops but then there's also
second-hand stores like modof for
example and modof has a huge selection
of louis vuitton and gucci and all these
other brands as well so with that let's
head in and i'll show you all the stores
[Music]
so our first stop in koenji is second
street behind me now if you watched my
thrifting in japan video you will
recognize this i've had a lot of
comments from people telling me they
visited this store after they watched my
video and they loved it not only is this
place great for secondhand clothing but
they have a massive selection of used
luxury items so let's head inside
[Music]
so tempting this is a louis vuitton
handle baby i think that this is called
an ellipse ellipse ellipse i'm pretty
sure
i have a slightly smaller one of this
that i got for about 250
this is 350 us dollars i reckon it's so
cheap because
it's a little bit dirty
just around
the rim there and the handle see how
it's tarnished i don't know if you'll be
able to see
let's see how it's a little bit dirty
where you hold it
see how it's the color is lighter up
here and then it gets dark so someone's
been holding that and it's gotten a
little bit dirty so that's probably why
it's so cheap
but you can take leather cleaner and
clean that right up and also the brass
wears pretty tarnished but if you
polished that it'd come up good as new
this is probably maybe a 15 20 year old
bag i would say
but it's an mm size which is a bigger
size i love this bag so much it's
beautiful and that's an excellent price
in australia that'd be about a thousand
dollars at least
[Music]
so i didn't have any luck in that store
nothing of the four things that i'm
looking for but uh we're just about to
come up on a second store now this one
is called atlantis this is uh they
always seem to have some really good
stuff in here but it is a little bit
more expensive than where we just were
at second street but they definitely
have much cooler stuff last time i went
into this store they had a keyball which
is that massive bag and it was in the
davinci design so they had one of those
here they have really interesting things
i'm really excited to see what they have
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there's the bag i was talking about
it's that keep wall it's the limited
edition da vinci
oh it's such a cool bag it's like 15 000
cute little saleen bag down there that
one is pretty expensive though it's over
a grand uh there's a prada bag down
there about eight hundred dollars for
that one so like i said this place is a
little bit more expensive but bear in
mind these things brand new are like
three or four grand if i if i don't see
anything else i think i might get that
bag so pretty and also of course
the marshino
everyone loves this motorbike that's not
for sale anymore you can't find that
anywhere either
[Music]
so the predicament that i'm in i could
get this and i really want it it's about
two thousand dollars which is great i
think new it actually says on here new
534
600 um but then also if i'm going to
spend that sort of money for 2 000
there's other things that i could
potentially get for example
you know like that alma i've been
wanting what a little alma bb for ages
and that's you know half the price
and that's really really cute for a
little bit more you can get a limited
edition gold but at least i know that
it's here even this so many people i
know want this bag
very popular bag
there's a chanel backpack back there
i just i love the way this sparkles look
at it it's so pretty
for two thousand dollars
there's so many different styles here
okay so i finished up in the shop i was
very very close to buying that but that
was basically the first proper store
that i went into selling those items i
haven't even been to shinjuku yet and i
know from last time i was in shinjuku i
found so many great bags i had to have
some self-control and i said i will come
back i said i'll think about it and he
gave me their business card and
apparently all the items they have in
the shop are available on their ebay
store so i'll put their store down below
he said that they have to charge a
little bit extra on ebay because of the
ebay commission but if you want anything
if you send them an email directly
they'll just organize the sale privately
and you don't have to pay the fees for
ebay that was a really nice shop the man
that worked in there spoke fluent
english he was so helpful they even gave
me a special deal because the price that
was on the bag was the original price
and then he said to me that he could
negotiate it down so it got down to
about two thousand australian dollars
now the reason that i didn't get it is
because i did a quick google search and
i actually found on ebay in australia
the exact same bag for one thousand one
hundred dollars now the main issue is
you don't actually know from these
sellers on ebay if it's going to be
genuine or not it could just be a bag
from wish and as we saw in my wish haul
i was able to get dionys's bags that
looked pretty legit feel much more
confident buying from a store like this
because it's all authentic and you know
genuine i'm going to head to shinjuku
and have a look around there and if i
don't find anything i'll come back
tomorrow and i'll get that bag because
that was a really good find by the way
guys if you do come to koenji this
little sushi shop called smart sushi is
right down the road from that
second-hand store i was just in they do
great sushi here and all the plates are
about a hundred and something yen i
highly recommend it see all the plates
are 110 yen a dollar ten u.s i love it
in here and i can't resist every time i
walk past so i'm going to grab a bite to
eat before i go to shinjuku because
sushi and shinjuku is expensive
here it comes
there we go
okay just finished up dinner and uh just
before we head to shinjuku i want to
show you mode off quickly which is
another store that i did feature in my
uh thrifting in japan video this is a
fantastic shop there's a whole bunch of
these around tokyo this is the koenji
branch but you can find them in a fair
few different places now they have a
wall that's got luxury items in it so
we're gonna have a quick look i don't
think i'm gonna find what i want in here
though because most of this stuff is
normally quite old you know 10 20 years
old the store we were just in though
they had lots of modern things anyway so
i don't think we're going to find
exciting new things but i just want to
show you anyway because you can get some
really good deals in here
[Music]
[Music]
so they had a couple of interesting
things in that store but nothing for me
some of the stuff was cheap and some of
it seemed a little bit overpriced but
anyway we're on our way to shinjuku now
it's getting late and it's getting cold
although actually well it's dark and
it's like 5pm so i mean that's late to
me considering i just want to go home
and curl up in the warmth but uh i will
stick it out to try and finish off this
video in one day because i don't want it
to drag on so in shinjuku there's so
many different stores i will try to get
to as many of them as i can before they
shut if i can't get to all of them
before they close i will have to go back
tomorrow i'm really looking forward to
showing you three in particular that not
many people seem to know about they're
like little little secrets because
they're not on the main street and i
think that you guys are going to love
them so i'll catch you in shinjuku
[Music]
you haven't experienced confusion until
you've experienced shinjuku station this
is the busiest station i've been to in
my entire life and i never used the same
exit twice because there's so many exits
to this place
i will have to google how many but i
wouldn't be surprised if there was like
30 or 40 exits it's very very difficult
to navigate your way through shinjuku so
what i suggest that you do is just get
up to the ground somehow just get up
there just find a staircase and get to
the ground and then navigate from there
because it's so difficult to navigate
down in here there's so many people it's
impossible so just get upstairs first
and then i'll give you directions from
there
finding the exit for kabukicho i find
this is a bit of an easier exit to use
because once i come out this exit i at
least know where i am
behold shinjuku
okay so i tend to avoid shinjuku if i
can it's just too busy for my liking
i've never been to new york city but
this is what i imagine new york city
must look like there's a lot of bright
lights there's a lot of people there's a
lot of noise there's screens with
advertisements playing but anyway if
you're looking for the luxury items and
you can't find what you want in the
smaller towns this is where you come
this is basically the main street that
i'm coming up to now there are so many
second-hand stores here i think the best
way that i can do this is to put all the
names in the description box below with
timestamps and google map links so you
can find the locations because it's way
too difficult for me to say to you you
know turn right here and turn left here
because this place is like a maze and
you will never find it so uh just if
you've got portable wi-fi just click on
the google map links and you'll find the
way there but look at this crossing
okay so our first stop in shinjuku is
right behind me here this is komejo now
come here has a huge amount of stores
they're everywhere this is the shinjuku
branch it does have a couple of
different floors if you don't know that
there's a second floor down below you
wouldn't go down there but there's some
really nice bags on the second floor so
make sure you head down the stuff in
this store is very high-end though last
time i was here i saw one of those
iridescent backpacks by louis vuitton uh
everything looks new in here i don't
think that they accept poor quality
second-hand items they're mostly brand
new someone may have used once or twice
and now they're selling it on so let's
have a look inside i don't know if
they'll let me film in here either but
let's see how we go
that's a 700 bag just there that one i
see a really cute lv heart shaped purse
that looks adorable
uh so guys i was very very tempted to
get that little pink love heart bag but
when i looked it up on google it was
only a hundred dollars more in australia
brand new than it was in there now that
was brand new condition there was
nothing wrong with that one it was in
you know the best condition possible but
if i was going to spend that much money
i think i would rather just get it from
the store not that it's available in the
store anymore that was a limited edition
2019 just make sure that you're googling
things before you jump into buying
anything okay guys this is an excellent
store here now this is called daikokurya
i believe this is also a chain uh
funny funny name dai is the kanji for
big koku is the kanji for black and yeah
is the kanji for
i
think that's shop i think big black shop
perhaps anyway this place is uh two
stories high they have heaps and heaps
and heaps of stuff in here highly
recommend that you drop by here i've
never bought anything here myself but i
do still recommend it because it's
really just very fun to look at they
always have interesting things in here
[Music]
look at this cute louis vuitton backpack
that's a limited edition one how much is
that that is
228 000 yen which is probably gonna be
two and a half thousand dollars for that
but that's a huge backpack for that
price get a lot more bang for your buck
for a backpack like that than the
handbag i was looking at before this
celine bag back here is 128 000 yen now
for that bag that is excellent i know a
lot of people with that bag particularly
in the corporate world they love this
bag so much that's a very good price i'm
not gonna go for that because it's
definitely not my style but i know a lot
of my friends will probably freak out
because that's less than half of what
some of my friends have paid for that
exact same bag there's a bunch of chanel
oh that's so cute
the boy bag lots of girls want this
that's 368 000 yen there's another
chanel bag over there that's a calf skin
or whatever they call it that one's
660 000 i mean some of these new though
would be
unbelievably expensive
this little one here
that's an excellent price for chanel i
have never seen a piece of chanel that
cheap before
i don't know what's wrong with that
maybe there's a big stain on the back of
it oh there you go there's some marks
down here i can see some scuff marks
that's an excellent price for that
[Music]
there's an upstairs section here too now
the stuff upstairs is the
sort of older stuff it's not quite as
good as the stuff downstairs but
look how much there is
look at the selection
[Music]
it's a thousand dollars
that's a really cute bag oh i love it
the trick is with stores like this that
have a lot you need to look at every
single item so that one's 300
that's
okay not in great condition but you
really need to look at all of them
because sometimes in among the others
you'll find one that'll be super super
cheap see that's 700
little backpack up here 500. okay see
here this is
270 dollars this one obviously this is a
little bit older it's a little bit sort
of scuffed up around here this is a
bigger bag than this one and this one is
500 because this one's obviously in
better condition so there you go picking
up a 200 and something dollar louis
vuitton bag
so guys this is a three story comic
you're here this one i believe is a
men's store yeah yep this is all men's
so on the door over there it's got men's
shoes men's import men's casual
trend handbags and men's business so
there are handbags in here i can see
them all in the front there
[Music]
okay so we've got our next place which
is secchine now sekine they are also a
chain and there's a couple of these
around the place but this one here i
have bought handbags in here before this
one i find that they accept products
that aren't in very good condition here
which means that you can get things a
little bit cheaper but they also have a
huge selection of brand new things that
have never been used like for example
all these things here that are all
wrapped up in plastic these things are
in excellent condition look at this this
is
1700 1600
there's even louis vuitton airpods over
there
back there is a rose purse that i've
been eyeing off for ages that's 500 that
one probably 600 australian dollars last
time i went to buy one of those i was
going to pay 700 for it and then i
thought to myself i'll go have a cup of
coffee and think about it and then i
left japan and didn't buy it and now
that i've come back there's another one
but it's cheaper
hmm that's very tempting
i'm going to come back to this second a
place because there's a person here i
really really liked and a handbag as
well
i just need to keep looking around
though because every time you go into a
new store you find new things that may
possibly be better so we'll come back
here later okay now directly opposite
sekine is a store just behind me here
called kabukiya now kabukiya is a couple
of levels as well they have some really
nice bags in here but i find that this
place is a little bit more expensive but
they negotiate they actually have an ad
playing at the front of the store in
english and it says
we will not only give you tax-free items
but we will give you more of a discount
you just have to ask you have to say is
that the best you can do so you can get
some really good prizes in here tax free
service but with many more discounts
we also have english speaking staff at
your service
we hope to make your shopping experience
more enjoyable
so
pretty cool although it's not as tender
as the lemon skin but still very
if you consider a personal use for
practical reasons wow
i would have looked in there a little
bit more but she was very pushy i don't
like when people are pushy you know
sales people normally they're not but
she saw when i walked in my face lit up
when i saw that dionysus bag and she she
kind of like jumped on me she thought oh
there's potentially a sale here but
little did she know that i found that
bag in the same condition in koenji that
was a couple of hundred dollars more for
exactly the same thing but that's what's
gonna happen when you come to shinjuku
but like i said you get a lot more
variety in shinjuku so just here this is
directly around the corner from where we
just were this one has a basement which
has bags and jewelry watches are on the
second floor main
level here has all the handbags and
everything huge amount of louis vuitton
in here you can see it all through the
window there i really like this store
i've never bought anything here though i
find it's a little bit more expensive
than everywhere else but they have great
variety and i can see the iridescent bag
over there too
[Music]
so
[Music]
last time i went down these stairs i
almost spent two thousand dollars on a
chanel handbag and then i went away to
think about it
and uh then i found something else and i
didn't end up getting it but if it's
still here i may
may just consider it look at that isn't
that adorable it's so cute ah see this
is what i was talking about they have
all these like limited edition things
that never fall is limited edition too
that's a very good price for that bag
and this chanel bag was here last time i
was here and i wanted to get this so bad
because it's the most beautiful chanel
bag i've ever seen but that is about 5
000 australian dollars which is actually
not bad considering chanel because
chanel holds its value and it's a really
really beautiful bag but it's a little
bit beyond my price range i mean maybe a
lot beyond my price range it's a really
cute little deal bag there in pink
[Music]
look isn't it just so beautiful
oh it's so nice
[Music]
i can't justify six thousand my my
maximum budget maximum maximum i was
like oh maybe two maybe if i find
something for two i will buy it so just
down the road from that one that store
was on the corner just there and now
we've got one here now this one is
pretty well known this store is called
ginzo now this is right on the corner of
literally the busiest street in shinjuku
look at this this is that's the touhou
cinema right there that's famous cinema
it's got the godzilla on it up the top
there
and this store ginzo is right here so i
feel like because they're in a prime
location they do charge that little bit
more for their products but they do have
some really really cool things including
a huge selection of birken bags and a
saddle bag look at that there's a saddle
bag that's the first one that i've seen
so far not the color i'm looking for
also not the price i'm looking for
either but uh look we've even got some
louis vuitton supreme louis vuitton
phone case
i don't even know what that is i think
that may even be diamonds as a an
hourglass is that an hourglass with
diamonds in it there's a lot of people
in here it's a really really popular
store look at this birkin
this birkin is
three million yen it's birken central
here ladies and gentlemen
this is
that's herme
that one there is not a birkin that is a
berk and this is an eight thousand
dollar birkin so first thing i noticed
when i came in there's a chanel bag i've
been looking for but that one is
3 300 us dollars definitely out of my
price range this here isn't a bad price
at all this is called a norway this is
an epi now this is a vintage piece here
it's four hundred dollars but i think in
australia this would be about 800.
two thousand dollars for this backpack
here
an adorable little albert baby
now that's a good price that's actually
a pretty good price
that's a doe ville now i bought a dovile
for 200. that is 1 500 ish but it's in
brand new condition
we've also got it downstairs here
japanese staircases are very steep
oh wow
look at that
isn't that beautiful
wow
[Music]
okay so i didn't find anything for me in
this store however i did spot one of
those little gucci dynasties bags
it was a little bit more expensive than
the last place that i found it out now
uh we're going across the very very big
intersection now and uh this is going to
take us to
almost kabukicho we're heading to the
touhou cinema you can identify it by the
giant godzilla head on top of it uh this
is a very very busy part of town it
stays open all night you can find
restaurants open here until three four
five a.m some of them are even 24 hours
but uh there's a store down here on the
corner that i'm taking you to the guys
in here they have the coolest products i
think out of everywhere that i've been
these guys have the most unique items
and probably the newest as well so uh
let's head in so the store i'm taking
you guys to now is called okura now
akura is just here on the corner right
under the godzilla up there and uh
there's a great restaurant nearby that
we're going to for dinner but this place
easy to identify it's got bags on all
the windows let's have a look from the
outside first and see what we can spot
so right off the bat i'm spotting this
design which is brand new they've only
released this in the last couple of
months that's a three thousand dollar
bag i have never seen this one before
but that's an eight thousand dollar bag
for some crazy reason we've got a bunch
of different noise here we've also got
oh look there's that same bag i spotted
that one in koenji i think that the
koenji one may have been cheaper than
that one this is a really nice alma here
that's a 700 bag over on this side we've
got some limited edition pieces like
this little backpack here that i did
spot i think that this is cheaper than
it was in that store earlier this is an
interesting speedy here looks like a
limited edition it's got these cute
little designs all over it like that a
thousand dollars down here for this one
we've got a speedy over this side for 1
400 that's still a lot i wouldn't pay
any more than 500 for a speedy over on
the other side here we've got some
interesting looking bags we've got some
dior bags some interesting louis vuitton
cases i've never seen some of these
before okay i think it's time to head
inside
so these things in these buckets
normally on sale
here well this is a really nice little
one here
this is 500 as well for this one cute
little chanel bag over here
[Music]
see this purse here i managed to get uh
i got this purse
when i was here three years ago and i
think i got it for a hundred and fifty
dollars because it was
on the inside it has all these stains
from people using it and their coins
going into it so it wasn't in very good
condition can you imagine putting one of
these through the airport
saddlebag not the right color scheme i
want the pink saddlebag this one is a
good price though and started being the
pink one i would have jumped on that
straight away
[Music]
so i was actually looking at getting
this bag here in australia i came very
close to buying it brand new
that is less than i would have paid for
it in australia but still i don't think
i can justify getting that okay so i
didn't find anything in that store that
i wanted either but uh i'm feeling like
i need a bit of a break now because
there's a lot of walking around in
circles in shops and it's making me
dizzy so we're going to stop for a break
and then i'll hit up a couple of other
stores but i've basically showed you my
favorite places to go the other shops
i'm going to show you from now on they
are a little bit more expensive they do
still have a good range of things and
also guys there's a lot more stores in
shinjuku than the ones that i'm showing
you i'm just showing you ones that i've
been to that i have found really good
items at and you can sometimes find a
really good bargain if you just look
close enough you can find things that
are a lot cheaper than others
sometimes stores like this one they only
accept things in really good condition
other stores will accept things in any
condition and they'll just flog them off
like that one that i kind of got scared
out of you know that one with the lady
that was too chatty that place they will
accept things in worse condition and
they keep them at the front counter and
you can get stuff for like fifty to two
hundred dollars i was i was frightened
out of that store because she was too
talkative so anyway time for a break and
then we'll hit up the others these
stores usually closed at around 9 p.m so
you've got plenty of time no need to
race around shinjuku looking for louis
vuitton
but also don't feel like you need to get
something when you're here because you
can also get things on zen market for
example and you can get stuff on zen
market a lot cheaper than you can get in
these stores they jack the price up
because it's a touristy area i can make
a video about zen market later if you
want but basically zen market you can
buy directly from japan and you can get
luxury items you know 100 bucks 200 300
you do see things that are quite
expensive but more often than not you're
finding super cheap things on zen market
so don't feel like you have to get it in
shinjuku you can go out to the suburbs
you can find porn shops in other suburbs
anyway time for a break and then i will
show you the rest of the stores in
shinjuku that i know of

okay guys well uh because i am a bucket
desk i have unfortunately let us all
astray the store is all closed at 9 00
pm and ima kuji hands unfortunately they
are closed now i spent too long eating
delicious fried foods and now the luxury
stores are closed but you know what it's
probably for the best because it means i
just saved myself a solid two thousand
dollars because i was well on my way to
buying something but i've just come out
of the restaurant and behind me here is
another store look i know the lights are
too bright and you probably can't see
hang on
so here's a store here this is directly
opposite the touhou building
this is called shell bird second-hand
luxury brand shop and in the window here
we've got some louis vuitton supreme we
have a cute little alma this alma is one
thousand three hundred dollars we've got
for one thousand seven hundred dollars a
big rainbow bag there's a gucci bag
there for 1 500. we've got some
balenciaga down here for 800. we've got
a gucci bag 1 500 we've got a chanel bag
700 another chanel bag 3 000
look it's ted
hello ted ted's all blinged out in his
gucci necklace here looking like a pimp
so the one bag that really stood out to
me tonight was the gucci dionysius bag
that i found in koenji but i also found
it here in shinjuku and it was a lot
cheaper in koenji so at the end of the
day guys it is definitely cheaper to buy
second-hand luxury items than it is to
buy new ones but you should always check
the price of the new ones because
sometimes the second-hand ones are only
you know 100 cheaper than a brand new
one depending on the condition that it's
in when you buy it new at least you have
a guarantee from the store and you also
get a warranty as well but if you're
saving thousands of dollars it's
definitely worth it now obviously i
didn't buy anything in today's video i
have been here in the past many times
before and purchased items one time i
found a louis vuitton handbag for 200
because it had a couple of scuffs on it
and it wasn't in great condition and i
just saw exactly the same bag today for
a thousand dollars because it was in
better condition than the one that i
bought it really depends it's luck of
the draw when you come here because you
might find something that's not in great
condition but to you it's probably in
great condition this camera is very
heavy my arm feels like it's about to
fall off i'm walking into hundreds of
people because shibuya's very busy if
you liked today's video please leave a
thumbs up don't forget to subscribe if
you haven't already if you want to find
out where any of the stores are from
today's video just check the description
box below because i've got all the
information listed there it's raining
and i'm holding my camera out and it's
uh getting wet so give me a thumbs up to
show your support look at the things i
do for you guys i'm actually kind of
glad i didn't buy anything today because
if i had bought something my wallet
would be two thousand dollars lighter
right now and i don't think i would feel
so good about that if you've been
looking for specific luxury items for a
long time but couldn't justify buying
them at the full price you may very well
find it somewhere in shinjuku or in
koenji or even in the town that you're
staying in if they have a pawn shop keep
your eyes peeled keep looking don't just
jump on something because it's there
it's not going to sell immediately if
you need some time to think about it
take some time these things they don't
sell like hot cakes a perfect example is
that beautiful purple chanel bag i was
here four months ago and that chanel bag
was there funnily enough actually the
lady in that shop i wasn't recording at
the time but she said to me have you
been here before and i said yes i have
and she said you came here with your
mother didn't you you're the one that
likes the pastel things but wow you have
a good memory she remembered me because
i was looking at that purple chanel bag
last time i was here now that's a six
thousand dollar bag and not every man
and his dog has six thousand dollars to
spend on a bag so take some time to
think about it if you spot something
that you really like don't feel like you
have to buy it immediately get the price
write it down go home go back to your
hotel go back to your ryokan go back to
your love hotel wherever you're staying
and uh do a quick google search and see
how much it would cost if you were to
buy it in your own country see the price
if it was brand new see the price if you
were to buy it on ebay i think the moral
of the story is that you can get some
really excellent bargains but not
everything is going to be cheap that's
enough from me with that thank you guys
so much for watching i hope you liked
this video give us a thumbs up if you
did thank you so much for watching and
we'll see you next time
[Music]
