What to know about Harajuku Hearts
A retailer first, label second
Most of the range is clothing and accessories imported directly from Japan, with its own Harajuku-inspired graphic pieces sitting alongside the imports.
Built for Japanese street subcultures
The buy covers Lolita, decora, fairy kei and gyaru: ruffled dresses, petticoats, platform shoes, wigs, plush bags and layered jewellery.
Physical access on the West Coast
A Kearny Street storefront near Union Square plus the web shop makes it one of the few places US shoppers can try authentic Lolita pieces in person.
