Cheap vintage clothing from Bingo @ Shibuya, Tokyo

Bingo used clothing store located in Shibuya is one of the best store to shop for quality vintage branded clothing at reasonable price. The best thing about Japan vintage clothing is that you are able to find good condition clothing and some even new. Probably the clothes out of fashion or have some minor manufacturing defects. But who cares about that as long as the cloth is still clean and looking good when wearing it. Here you are able to shop for working shirts, jeans, pants, leather jackets, boots, shoes, watches, wallets, bags and winter jackets. Bingo cater more for men market as almost 75% of the floor are selling men's products. The rest 25% are ladies products more on clothing.

Even if the price is right and if the size of the clothing don't fit you, it defeat the purpose as well. Most of the items priced between 800 to 4,000 Yen. The price depends on the brand and condition of the item.

Bongkar Vintage @ Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

Recently I learnt about vintage shop or thrift shop from an article on the Internet. From there I begin my research about it and found out that there are several good thrift shop also known as bundle shop or second hand shop around Kuala Lumpur area. Usually this kind of shops specializing in shirts, shoes, jeans, jackets, bags and watches. These vintage shops usually stock many branded vintage items which are usually sold at budget price if you compared to buying new item. But sometimes, the price shown is still expensive considering the items is used. So, its up to you to use your bargain skills to get the best price. Most of the items are negotiable. In Klang Valley, there are many thrift or bundle shops available but Bongkar Vintage are a few one which offer quality and branded used items which still in very good condition. The usual brand are Ralph Lauren, Gap, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Levis, Schott, Uniqlo, Jcrew, Red Wings, Nudie Jeans and Diesel. If you are lucky, you may even find new item in their shop. Happy shopping and treasure hunting!


Many used A1 flight bomber leather jacket in Bongkar Vintage. They also have many vintage Schott Perfecto leather jacket as well.

Good condition used jeans, denim jacket and shirts.

You can get good condition of jeans and shirt if you spent sometime looking for treasure in this vintage shop.

Many denim jacket are in good condition and its up to you to get a well bargain piece.

The best thing about vintage shop is each piece of clothing is unique and you never find same pattern twice. Some of the shirt/jeans are customized by previous owner.

Portobello Road Market @ London, England

I went the market during summer time and found out that it is rather congested. Beware of pickpockets. There are many stalls selling many kinds of items such as antiques, food, clothing, souvenir and vintage items. The atmosphere is some sort of festival here where you can see many kinds of human action and behaviour. Here also houses the world famous bookshop which is made popular by the "Notting Hill" film. You can find international types of food here such as Spanish, Indian, Turkish and French food here.

Some of the phrases on the fridge magnet and metal plat is so sexy and have hidden meaning such as "I can't cook" with a beautiful lady as background.

Seafood rice or Paella.

Purchased the seafood paella and its a mistake. I don't like the taste and the rice is too hard to swallow. Price at 7.00 Pound per box which is expensive.

Healthy travel. I need fruits as well.

Along the way to Portobello road market there are many shops selling liquors.


Nice bakery shop with pizza.
