Alice and the Pirates Laforet Harajuku shop tour!

Laforet Harajuku is a shopping mall in the heart of the neighborhood. Most of the building houses small mainstream boutiques, but the basement levels are home to "Laforet Underground", an aptly named area devoted to alternative fashion shops. We've previously blogged about it, specifically in our shop tour of the Atelier-Pierrot store - which is literally right next door to Alice and the Pirates on level B1.5.

The A/P store is pretty big as Japanese boutiques go; big enough to have room for both Alice and the Pirates and some Baby merchandise. You can find both there! But it is obviously a mainly A/P store, so it has a dark aesthetic.

The outside of the store.  Various angles are below.

We love the chandelier. Do you see the A/P logo in it?

Note to self: next time, rent a retail space with higher ceilings.

Absolutely no pictures!  (-_-)

One-piece dresses.

Many hair accessories!  Socks are on the bottom.

Socks from both Baby and A/P!

Cutsews and small accessories. As New Yorkers, it is always

amazing to see accessories just laid out in the open like this. Nobody takes them!

Baby dresses.

Cardigans and shoes.

More accessories!

Blouses, bags and hats!

 

The chest at the front of the store. We spy the enamel heart bags, Julie Fish bags, 

a Fairy Tale bag, an Usakumya mini-mini, and more!

This is "M", the store shop staff. She's wearing the Night Fairy Fantasia combinaison with matching socks and headbow! So cute!
