Have you ever been to a used clothing store...in Japan? Let me tell you, it looks nothing like a Salvation Army store back home...
First of all, the prices are almost the same as a regular store. Which you may think, defeats the purpose of buying clothes that have previously been worn.
Japanese used clothing stores, like WEGO are best known for taking something old and making it into something new! Used clothing imported from countries like the U.S.A. and Canada are literally torn apart and re-sewn together to make a new article. There will always only be one item in one size, so once it's gone--it's gone!
If you have a chance to sneak around Amemura (lit. America ville) in Namba, Osaka...you can stumble upon many of these kinds of stores.
