SWIMMER LAFORET HARAJUKU STORE PHOTOS: JAPANESE CUTE STATIONERY, KAWAII ACCESSORIES, CLOTHING.
You asked me for photos of cute Japanese stationery/accessories store Swimmer, you got em! I secretly snapped the Laforet location (below), as well as the one in Ikebukuro.
Each store is a silly-faced pastel paradise of notebooks, hair accessories, and random objects for the home. (You can see close-ups on my previous post about Swimmer.) From now on, I will be signing all my books with one of their bobble-head animal pens!
The limb-less babushkas and stoner-eyed bears remain my favorites. Kitschy-kitschy-koo!
Would you decorate your home Swimmer-style? Contest winners and a new Death Cookbook video coming right up…
