I got sweet Alhambra earrings in turquoise few days ago at Mitsukoshi store. The service was very good and I am just super glad that I got what I wanted. Price wise I believe it was the best compared to other countries
Anyone shop in Japan recently?

I’m going in a few months and hoping to get a hammered gold necklace or bracelet. Highly unlikely but one can hope!
going to osaka in a few weeks and looking to get the small yg frivole earrings—does anyone know how difficult to find these might be?
I tried for RG and it wasn’t available. Didn't ask for YG though. This was in November.
also going to the kobe boutique as well, if anyone has details on stock or SA info they could share it would be much appreciated ❤️
Does anyone have a SA in Tokyo they can share the contact of? Would be extremely thankful!
My husband is going to Tokyo in May. Was thinking of asking him to find the 10 motif YG. Let me know if you have any luck - sending you positive vibes!
I'm going to Japan at the end of May and was hoping to get the Magic earrings (single motif) or the VA 5 motifs bracelet in blue agate. In case they are not available in any stores, can someone recommend a good pre-loved store in Tokyo that sells VCA?🙏
My favorite is ALLU, and I actually bought a pendant from them last month! They have several stores so check their website in advance to find what you want and see which store it’s in. Store website here (I filtered to VCA already for you).
ETA: Magic earrings might be doable but I think 5-motif bracelet will be tough to find in store, based on my experience.
Does anyone have experience taking in a VCA piece for cleaning in Japan? I do not have a VCA store in my home country and would like to drop by VCA in Japan during holiday. Also, is it possible to ask for a cleaning kit from an SA as there are no VCA stores available back home. Thank you.
To be honest I’m not sure if the stores in Tokyo are the right places for this… they’re so busy that you have to make an appointment ahead of time to be seen or wait in front of the store for availability. I get the feeling they’d tell you they were too booked to do routine cleanings and especially for non-local customers.
Yes! At nearly all of these stores you’ll get a tax refund.
