Spent the afternoon with Sam-san at Kate Coffee in Shimokitazawa, a really cute place upstairs full of retro mix and match sofas and chairs. They also create their own zines, leaflets and postcards with lots of hand drawn doodles and sell lovely handmade bags and pouches by Kick. Their curry lunch plates and cakes are delicious too! Next stop was round the corner at Jam Cover which has to now be my ichiban shop in Shimokitazawa. It's amazing but beware you could loose hours in here there is so much to look at! It's a hoarders paradise. They have lots of plastic retro jewellery, broaches and hair clips but also create their own fabrics, letter sets and stickers. Pretty much anything stationary you could think of they have - even number stencil sets and label templates to make your own tags. A lot of their designs look Scandinavian but there are also a lot of Parisian trinkets. I love their Russian doll note books and vintage necklaces draped over old books.
