I've been a collector and buyer from Japanese marketplaces for over 10 years, and honestly? Buying from Japan shouldn't be this hard.

Japan's secondhand market is the best in the world for designer fashion - the care taken with garments, the range of archival pieces, the pricing. But buying as a non-local means navigating Japanese-language websites, signing up for proxy buying services, paying multiple shipping legs, and hoping customs doesn't add a surprise fee.

garb is a shortcut for all of that. I source directly from reputable Japanese secondhand marketplaces, hand-pick pieces across brands I know and trust, and ship them to customers with one all-inclusive price.
