The rare buyers have searched for treasures from all over the world and released them all at once! The World Bazaar is now underway, bursting with the aesthetic sense of the reshop crew.

What kind of image do you have of the word "buying"? Nowadays, going to an exhibition to check out a new brand, or making an appointment directly with a brand to place an order is, of course, buying.

Amidst all the different ways of buying, is it just me who feels romanticized by a certain haphazard, unprepared, and spur-of-the-moment approach?

However, in reality, there are not many people or opportunities to do so. Buyers have a very important budget, and they are going into a business meeting with the fate of the company on their shoulders.

Among those who are making exceptional moves are HOUYHNHNM's well-known Keiji Kaneko and the crew of "Reshop". Click here to read about their first overseas buying trip in two and a half years this summer.

The flea market that he visited between appointments, local vintage stores that only locals visit, members-only showrooms of vintage dealers that people in the know know have connected with through word of mouth, a souvenir store in an art museum, a university co-op in a university, and so on.... University Co-op on campus, and so on.

Over a long period of about a month, traveling from the West to the East across three European countries (England, France and Italy) and the United States, we visited every area we could think of where we could find interesting items, and purchased items that we saw with our own eyes, all of which were quirky and rare items that are hard to find in Japan.

This treasure hunter feel is what traditional buying is all about.

Please come to the World Bazaar, where many items that have tugged at the heartstrings of buyers will be exhibited and sold in one place, and search for treasures.
