Looking for something unusual or one of a kind in Shinjuku?

Located in Shinjuku-sanchome, GORIMARU Vintage Collection offers a changing mix of pre-owned designer items, trading cards, watches, jewelry, figures, retro toys, and other collectibles.

One of the best parts of vintage shopping is that you do not always know what you will find.

You can visit with a specific item in mind, but sometimes the most interesting discovery is something you were not looking for at all.

Vintage Designer Pieces with a Different Character

Pre-owned and vintage fashion can offer designs that are no longer commonly seen in current boutiques.

You may come across older CHANEL chain bags, classic Louis Vuitton Monogram pieces, Old Gucci designs, or vintage CELINE Macadam styles.

Even within the same brand, details such as hardware, materials, shapes, and colors can change from one era to another.

For shoppers who prefer something a little different from current collections, that history is part of the appeal.

Depending on the selection, you may also discover jewelry and accessories from Tiffany & Co. or Cartier, as well as watches from Rolex, Omega, and other makers.

Vintage Cards and Collectibles

Trading cards can also offer plenty of unexpected finds.

Pokémon collectors may come across older Japanese cards, PSA-graded cards, vintage old-back designs, or promotional releases from past magazines and campaigns.

Some people search for Charizard, Pikachu, Mew, or Gengar. Others simply choose a card because they like the artwork or remember it from childhood.

Vintage collecting is not always about finding the most expensive piece. Sometimes a personal connection makes an item more interesting.

Retro Toys, Sofubi and Classic Japanese Collectibles

Figures and retro toys offer another kind of treasure hunt.

Depending on the day, you may see Japanese sofubi, old robot toys, Chogokin, tin toys, anime figures, or nostalgic character merchandise.

Collectors may recognize names such as Bullmark, Marusan, and Popy, while others simply enjoy the unusual designs of older Japanese toys.

Because these items are pre-owned, details such as the box, accessories, paint, and signs of age can vary from piece to piece.

Those differences make each item feel unique.

The Selection Changes Regularly

Many vintage and pre-owned items are one of a kind.

Something you notice today may be gone the next time you visit, while a completely different item may appear in its place.

That changing selection is part of the fun.

GORIMARU Vintage Collection also features multiple rental showcases, with items selected by individual showcase owners as well as the store’s own selection.

Each showcase can have a different style or category, so browsing them one by one can lead to unexpected discoveries.
