- We've done it again! Another super successful trip to Japan for Japanese fabric shopping! This time, I was there with Caroline of Ancient Arts Yarn, so it was a combo fabric shopping and tourism trip! This video is from our shopping trip to Nippori Tomato in Tokyo; the next one will be our shopping trip in Kyoto, and then I will do a compilation of our tourism portions.
I will also be doing an "in-person" recap of the fabrics of showing the fabrics to everyone on video instead of just this "as it happened" footage!
In other exciting news, I have started a "pick your own" bag system where you can select your exterior fabric, and with some have even more customization options (the Luxe Tote Bag having the most options). Or, choose your exterior fabric and let me do the rest. You can see those options here: ateliernekozuk...
I also restocked the Dede House charms and brooches while we were in Kyoto, which you can view here: ateliernekozuk...

Headed to Japan this week. I will definitely be visiting this store. Your video is going to get me in so much trouble. lol buying fabric is the best bad thing to do!!!
Oh good lord, I thought I had replied to this! I hope you had an amazing trip, and that you found fabric you adore!!
This is my first time watching your video. It amazes me that you can bring so much fabric back home. Looking forward to your haul. Just like to ask do you get tax free buying fabric in Tomato?
Welcome! The next haul video will probably be awhile yet, but I’m also excited to do another!
I haven’t seen tax free for Tomato, but I do my think I qualify because I’m using the fabric for commercial purposes!
Nomura Tailor in Kyoto does have tax free, though, if you’re in that area!
LOVE the "domesticated" birds at the beginning on Navy and Sage backgrounds
Aren’t they fantastic?! That fabric has such a good hand, too! It’ll be glorious to work with once I get the time!
Was looking for something like this. Gives me a good idea as to the kind of fabrics I get there. Thank you.
Glad it helped!! Tomato is awesome! There’s a ton of other shops on that street, so my best suggestion is that you plan at least half a day, maybe a full day, to explore it all!
@@AtelierNekozuki not planning to do much shopping. That's why this is so useful. I now can go straight and pick up some stuff. Won't need to spend too much time exploring.
I am from India. So plenty of options in fabrics. Plan is to get something different.
@@DebiSenGupta ooooh, fair! Yeah, if you only want to take a short amount of time, just go to Tomato in Tokyo. First and fourth floors are the cottons, USA cotton on the 5th floor. If you’re in Kyoto, Nomura Tailor will be your best option. Yuzuwaya is a chain in Japan and they also general have a smaller, but robust, fabric selection! There’s one in the basement under Yodobashi at Kyoto Station, though you can find them across Japan!
@@AtelierNekozuki that's a good suggestion, if I am short of time in Tokyo, then maybe I can try in Kyoto
Thanks again.
This shop looks great! Do you know if they had jersey/cotton lycra there or was it all woven fabrics?
Hey! Sorry for the delay in my response! I believe they do on either the 2nd or 3rd floor, which is why I only really shop the 1st & 4th floors! If Tomato doesn’t, there should be another store with those fabrics in stock in Nippori Fabric Town!
Do they sell remnants/less then 1 meter pieces? That’s what I plan on getting most of since I make small things and it stretches my budget. Leave in 8 days!! Thanks! 💖
I don’t know if Tomato has a ton of remnants, but they will do less than one metre. I believe the shortest cut is a half metre, and then 10cm increments from there! If you’re in Kyoto, both Nomura Tailor and Nomura Tailor House have fat quarters and smaller pieces, OR Yuzuwaya (a chain of craft stores across Japan) always has smaller cuts. In Tokyo, explore Nippori textile town (where Tomato is). Across the road there was a shop with smaller cuts. I just cannot remember the name of it right now.
P.S. Have an AMAZING time!
Is it cheaper there for fabric? On average, how much does the fabric cost?
I know I already answered this on stream, but I figured I should come back and respond! With all my travel costs calculated in, the cost of the fabric works out to about the same as a good quilt cotton in Canada, which is 40% less than me purchase through a middle man on Etsy/other shop. Since I can’t use the quantities needed for wholesale orders, this is the most money efficient way to do it right now! (Considering other factors like not being able to order more than a metre of fabrics directly from Japan, etc.)
Could you in future point out the price on a few bolts so we can know how to read the prices
Thanks for the comment! I actually purposely don’t talk about the prices in the videos, since I go to Japan to keep my fabric costs competitive vs purchasing them and importing them from a supplier. If you are travelling there and would like to know how to figure out pricing, I’m happy to have a chat in Instagram DMs about how you can figure it out! ❤️
hry mam how you doing? im looking for japan gents stock fabric can you help me?
What kind of fabric is gent’s stock fabric? Like shirting?
@@AtelierNekozuki arab countries (uae) dress fabric and cotton as well
@@saifkhan-tq2kl ooooh, OK! Lots of cotton and cotton/linen blends in Tomato, with some apparel fabrics. I would suggest looking in the other shops in the area, as I’m pretty sure there were apparel fabric shops in the Nippori fabric town area. I just can’t give any recommendations as I don’t use them!
@@AtelierNekozuki i want i huge quantity if you find must let me know or if you know some one who have big stock lott then tell me.
@@AtelierNekozuki do you have any other platform of net where i can send videos or pic of that fabric or stock
