Meet: Yuji Jitsutani fromAtlantis Vintage Tokyo.
Though Atlantis Vintage opened in 2002, it’s popularity has recently recently swelled thanks to social media.
Back then, the vintage market for high-end luxury was still in its early stages.

What I love about vintage is that its truly one-of-a-kind, says Yuji, who mans the Koenji location.
And lets be real, the price is often way better, too.
What can one find in the vintage mecca?

The human connections make this work so much more than just a retail experience.
Theres nothing quite like seeing someones face light up when they hold their dream bag for the first time.
Of course, Yujis impeccable personal style is another draw.

Lots of accessories, tooespecially chunky rings and bangles.
Things started to change on Instagram when my husband began helping with our social media a few years ago.
So this year, weve decided to stay open for New Year and I cant wait!
