BAPE STORE® KYOTO — Local services in Kyoto

Great store, staff was nice and helpful which led to us spending more money. Even though a full 4 color t-shirt only costs around USD $1.80 to produce and they sell for much more... much, much more... it's part of 'image' and 'branding' of your individual style. Interesting thing though - it seems they're selling the packaging for things here as separate items... while in other Bape stores when you buy certain items you get the packaging for free - example: the face mask comes in a ziplock pouch, it's part of the product... in the Kyoto store they sell that ziplock pouch separately. I think Bape should last for a while, at least they're developing some decent and unique products. Compare this to Supreme, which is already considered tired and out of style in Los Angeles... and if something is not cool in Los Angeles, then it is in extreme trouble. Bape = still cool......

Hello, my note does not concern the products or the brand but is dedicated to certain members of the unpleasant staff: when you enter the shop they stare you from head to toe as if they were iconic fashion stars. secondly, I ask the seller my size (11us) he looks at me as if I were disturbing him with a haughty air telling me that the maximum existing size being 9, I decide to doublecheck with his colleague at the bottom and strangely my size appears in the shop.

if you are a foreigner avoid this shop at all cost, Tokyo sellers are way more...

The staff here were very welcoming and helpful. They told me as nice as possible that they are not allowed to let customers try shirts on and if so, only the sample ones can be tried on. They were careful to give customers a good experience at the store even if they might not end up buying anything. The mannerism of the staff here are way better than the one in osaka, which was unfortunately terrible and makes anyone who walks in regret their decision to do so in the first place. The quality of the merchandise was really good and priced...
