That familiar smell

Tokyo Juice in the far corner of the Guemnamno Underground shopping arcade near the Kunsthalle or the Asian Culture Complex building site. 2 large amazing stores full of recycled clothing, a real thrift store. The finds are all over the place- from oh this is really cheap to oh this is well worn, to this is a great deal. And one of the best things about shopping at Tokyo Juice is that the sizes are varied. You can find more than standard korean size things from sweaters to jackets, pants,etc. Shoes still run small. My favorite part about the store is the familiar thrift store smell, used, well loved clothes, some dust and some vintage. It makes for a nice break from the cookie cutter fashion that gives you few choices or options from the trends.
