Greetings from Tokyo !
Today I visited Takashimya Tokyu hands which is location in Shinjuku, right opposite my hotel.
I heard they sell fabrics and other hand craft materials.
Surprisingly, there are more fabrics than I thought.
Definitely worth a visit if you are into handicrafts.
Needle felt kits and materials :
Prices are similar to Singapore's but wider range to choose from.
In Japan, there are wide range of fabrics from San-X.
Copyrighted fabrics which are hard to find in Singapore. They are marked at a higher price, about 1,400円 per metre.
(below) Plenty of choices to choose from.
I do not have a chance to shop like this in Singapore.
This place is like heaven to me.
How I wish I have a day to spend !
Many of the fabrics are selling at a discounted price. It would take some time to look through the shop and to get the best deal.
I only spent about an hour or less as we are in a rush.
I would love to buy lots of fabric if not because of baggage allowances, and time retriction.
This place is perfect for me as it is filled with Japanese fabric which I love the most
I would like to make my own kimono/yukata/haori with these beautitful fabrics.
They also sell lots of fat quarters ! About 300円 each.
Special fabric basket, how convenience it can be !
I am glad they provide these trolley.
*Pardon my ignorants as I have yet to see this in Singapore*
After about 20 minutes of queuing, finally it is my turn.
This kind lady is showing me the price of the fabric using a calculator. She is really nice and fast in cutting up the fabric.
(below) I am really very happy to see these beautiful fabrics getting cut, fold, and placed into my basket.
Can't wait to bring them home and make something useful out of it.
I really wish Singapore Takashimaya have a fabric shop as big as this one !
I think most of my pay would goes into this shop :)
Signing off,
