Patchwork > where apparel, toys & design collide

I frequently visit this boutique in Taipei. It specializes in Toy2r vinyl as well as a nice selection of apparel. The staff is very friendly and loyal customers constantly pass by to pick up new goods. Since my last visit, they've temporarily closed shop to relaunch in a couple weeks or two as a boutique/tea shop. That's what it takes these days with the plethora of boutiques popping up everywhere. The new post should be opening soon. I wish you guys the best! Here's a look at what it used to be


Front view. It's located at a prime spot in a major shopping district.


My man Henry manning the register. Any questions you have about toys or clothing in Taiwan? Ask this guy.


One of their more valuable pieces, a special color scheme created just for their store.


Keepin' it simple with the white and black.


This barely visible white vinyl on the left is normally only available for Toy2r design contest winners. Henry advised me to buy it right now, due to it's rarity. But you wouldn't believe the price tag on these babies...


The right side...


And the left. Sad to see it all go. Excited to see the rebirth though.
