How it works

What is garb?

garb gives you access to Japan's incredible secondhand designer market — without the complexity. This is a service for collectors, by collectors.

Japan is home to the best secondhand fashion market in the world. The quality of care, the depth of archival stock, and the range of designers is unmatched. But buying from these stores as an overseas customer is a pain - language barriers, complicated proxy services, extra shipping legs, customs uncertainty.

garb removes all of that. We do the sourcing, we handle the logistics, and we deliver it to you with one transparent price.


The Process

Sourcing
garb shops Japanese secondhand marketplaces daily. We know the brands, we know the sellers, and we know what quality looks like. We handpick the best to showcase here.

Curation
Every item on the site has been specifically chosen. We care about the classics you know and love, your Comme des Garcons, your Issey Miyakes, and also the upcoming contemporary designers who you should be paying attention to. These aren't bulk-lots.

Pricing
The listed price includes everything - the piece itself, international shipping from Japan, and delivery to your door. No customs invoices. No forwarding fees. No surprises.

Shipping
Delivery times vary depending on the piece, but we're transparent about where each item is in the process. Free shipping on every order to AU/NZ.
