I didn't realize there was a Kapital store in Nagoya even tho I walked by it a million times. The sign is really discreet so I always missed it.
Sorry the pictures are so blurry, I forgot that if you try to take pictures while moving my camera completely destroys the quality.
Tons of amazing Kountry stuff for men, women, childs, etc. So much boro and wonky stuff. Cool buttons, hand-painted and hand-distressed details, vintage baubles, patchwork and sashiko - the works. I'm saving for a trip to Tokyo but I could go wild in that store if I wanted to, sooo much cool stuff. Everything was there: shoes, shirts, jackets, shackets, skirts, coats, belts, socks, leathers, suede jackets, boots, scarves, hats, blankets, glasses, bracelets, overalls, vests - literally every imaginable item of clothing or accessory has been done by Kapital in every conceivable manner. They even had tchotchkes! The store also has a fully stocked sewing and repair station equipped with limitless amounts of thread, buttons and more. Pretty sure the staff actually produces some of the boro stuff in-house, which I imagine is the case for every Kapital store (but I dunno).
At the end of the album are two books I picked up. I had to get something, and the socks were a little too pricey. The books are super substantial, full-color and glossy and yet they only cost a mere $3 apiece. One is the current collection and the other one is a lookbook of Kountry stuff. Each collection must be massive if all the stuff in there now is current season; the shop is two stories and it's packed with clothes. I loved the way it was set up, actually; it's like a big warehouse with vintage clothes piled up and around, except the clothes aren't actually vintage and they're all amazing and expensive.
