Japanese fashion has always been something of a wonder- their kimonos, vintage suits and blazers are all unique, slightly quirky and ultra-stylish. There's just something a little bit special about Japanese-inspired clothing, and today I want to talk about where you can find the best Japanese vintage clothing online.
The brand I will be featuring is called Japanese Finds, an amazing Etsy shop that has the biggest range of Japanese vintage clothing and kimonos that I've seen. The shop ships their vintage clothing via DHL so everything arrives after a few days of ordering, and they ship worldwide! The best thing about their brand is that all of their items are from Japan, including some vintage Burberry pieces, jackets and various other little pieces of clothing that are super unique and unusual.
I ordered this lovely grey vintage Burberry blazer from the brand, and it arrived within a few days of placing the order with Jim, the owner of the shop. Jim was fantastic to work with and answered all my questions quickly. The garment arrived in a lovely package and I opened it to find the most gorgeous Japanese vintage Burberry piece ever. Take a look below!
As you can see, this piece is truly stunning. It features a narrow lapel typical of the 90s, and silver Burberry buttons which complements the light grey exterior of the blazer. The blazer is made from linen and it is of impeccable quality, even though it probably has been kept by the owner for over 20 years. The piece is in great vintage condition and has no smell. Jim from the shop really knows how to pick quality pieces of vintage clothing. I feel like this piece looks brand new, and has a lovely crisp finish to it.
The hardest thing about shopping for vintage clothing is that the sizes differ. Jim puts all of the sizing in the description so you can see whether the garment fits your size. You simply have to compare your existing clothing to the measurements and voila- you can find out of the pieces fit. I would say that most of the Japanese clothing runs small, so it's always a good idea to check!
In terms of the shipping, the piece arrived really quickly and it was in great condition. I really can't find a flaw in Japanese Find's shop at all, in terms of their customer service and shipping times. The shop sells a huge range of Japanese kimonos as well as other vintage clothing from brands like North Face, Kenzo and Ralph Lauren, which means that you'll find a variety of clothing suitable for all shapes and sizes. All garments from the shop are handpicked, selected by their professional and knowledgeable staff. They are super stylish and I would say, can be worn for a very "street style" look (if you like the colourful kimonos) but other styles such as their jackets and blazers can be worn as unique statement pieces.
Overall, I would not hesitate to buy from Japanese Finds again. Their lovely range of clothing impressed me a lot, and their kimonos are so beautiful! If I didn't choose this blazer, I would definitely have brought a cool floral kimono to wear with my summer outfits. Hope you check out their shop!
