ATELIER-PIERROT — Local services in Tokyo

A lovely store at the bottom of the Laforet department store in Harajuku. Getting there was very easy, it’s right off the Yamanote line.

I visited twice while I was in Japan, once in lolita and once in casual clothes, and both times I did not feel like they treated me any differently. Even though the staff there may not always be able to speak English, they definitely try their best, and if you’re interested in something, they may bring up something that they think goes well with it.

Along with their own store brand, they carry tons of other indie lolita brands, so it’s a great place to start your lolita journey, or to add more treasures to your collection. If you’re interested in accessories, they constantly have a varied selection, because the indie items will sell out and be replaced by different things.

I didn’t try on any clothes while I was there, so I can’t speak to that experience, but the tax-free procedure was incredibly simple - just present your passport at the register and they take care of it for you. They accept credit...

I always knew Lolita fashion was expensive and also I was very hesitant on trying it because my size is medium on western clothing. However I tried multiple dresses and they all fit except one. I do not speak Japanese however they tried their best to not only let me try everything I wanted but also they gave me whole outfits with accessories to see myself. I felt super pretty I fell in love with everything I tried, the quality is amazing, I ended up buying two dresses and one I regret not getting a corset and accessories too, but they have international shipping on their online store. Thank you so much for an experience that made me feel...

It's like a gothic wonderland - a pretty store with many gorgeous clothes. The staff was very helpful and lovely although my Japanese skills are quite limited (yet). The clothes were all stunningly beautiful, dresses, blouses, skirts, accessories... great quality and design worthy of a vampire princess. I picked clothes that fit me and were made of cotton. They also have larger sizes that fit a European (I usually wear European medium size, in Japan large or XL clothes fit me 😁) The clothes are a bit more expensive, but it's absolutely worth it for quality and design. I'll definitely go there again next time I...
