I have loved this Japanese shop from afar for several years now. Gorgeous stuff, very minimalist and beautifully made, so old-fashioned that it looks modern. The clothes are pretty expensive and not available in the U.S. as far as I know. But I love the presentation and aesthetic of this shop. It's a delight just to browse the website and get visual inspiration. (Click on collection to see individual items.)

Says owner Sonya Park:

“Honestly, I am not that clever to come up with 20 new shapes each season!” she demurs. “And when you have really beautiful fabrics, you do not have to do much. It’s like cooking. If you have really beautiful ingredients, half of the work is done.”
