I just learned about Classic Loot this week and had to go check it out. It's a shop in Japantown…read morewith new and secondhand items, like men's and women's clothes, purses, jewelry, Sanrio merchandise, plushies, crafting kits, greeting cards, and more. It's very cute and very clean, and doesn't seem like a thrift shop at all. The young woman working there was friendly and helpful. I saw lots of little things I wanted to buy, like the tiniest Labubu I've ever seen, but didn't end up purchasing anything. Most of the clothes and accessories for females seemed targeted toward young people, but I'm glad I stopped in and checked out all of their cute loot. Be sure to bring change for the metered parking or plan to use your credit card.

I've been wanting to go to Redemption for several months and finally made it to downtown Campbell…read moretoday to check it out. It's a cute boutique offering California-made items such as pottery, clothes, skin care products, jewelry, art, and more. The store is nicely organized and their items are neatly displayed. A table with pottery near the entrance caught my eye right away. I also enjoyed checking out the flavored salts and oils for cooking, room diffusers, wall art, and jewelry. I was surprised to see they carry the wonderful Osea skin care products as I didn't know they were made in California. I ended up buying a ceramic spoon rest, room spray, and a tiny gold "diamond" ring. Their prices were reasonable. The store owner rang up my items and was very friendly and nice. I will definitely be back to shop here again.

But I went in to find a birthday present for a Chinese girlfriend with really good taste in fashion and maybe buy a cute hair clip for myself. A clerk started giggling at me as soon as I walked into the store. Another sales lady walked up to me with a highly disapproving look on her face. "We don't have anything here in your size," she said. I could just tell she was envisioning me ripping the seams out of one of her $180 skirts trying to zip it over my fat ass. I'm well-acquainted giggles and rejection from clothing sales clerks in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. But I wasn't expecting it here. Oh well; they lost my business.

Over the years, I've bought hair clips, cell phone charms, skirts, and dresses. The lady was very professional and nice. She is not pushy at all, and lets me have my time browing through the things. When she recommended an item to me, she was not pushy either. Many times I don't buy anything but just tried a few pieces on. She was not angry, like some other Asian store owners do. They have cute Korean style clothes. The price tags are pretty expensive, but they go on sale after a while, like 50% off. I like many styles there, but sometimes just didn't buy them due to the price. Sometimes they have on-sale items hanging outside the store. $29.99 a piece. I've found great bargains there. I bought a summer skirt, a winter skirt, and a full dress! Great deals.

I've heard about this store but never had the chance to visit. Honestly, I was worried it was a…read morepop-up store and I missed it! Thankfully, it wasn't and I'm glad I finally visited. The store has a lot of Thousand Skies merch (of course), but also a lot of other artists' work. Very similar to what you'll see at some SJmade fairs, you'll see a lot of prints, charms, caps, plushies, washi tape, and more. I could probably spend just as long in the store as I would at SJmade. When I was shopping there (5/17/26), Thousand Skies had a free reusable bag for any purchase of $50 or more on their merch. Not sure how long they will keep this promotion, so hurry and make your visit if this is something you'd like!

They also sell stuffed animals, enamel pins, cute hats and bags featuring their designs. The prices are reasonable and on par with most stickers. Moment Japantown is an adorable shop that feature lots of artists like Thousand Skies. It's worth a visit. I appreciate that the staff lets you wander and take your time looking around. There is parking outside of Moment JapanTown.

Walked in and employee was on her phone and didn't pay much attention to us being there. So for this reason I am subtracting 1 star, poor customer service. I guess she had something important on her phone to deal with. Not very welcoming, but no worries, Im just looking anyway. On a brighter note, they have some beautiful necklaces that won't leave your wallet hurting. They also have a large selection of blinged out earrings and hair accessories too. The prices here are very reasonable, I thought it was going to be much more expensive, but, I was wrong. I know where to come when I need a special occasion or statement piece of jewelry and I'll leave happy knowing I got a good deal. Will definitely return to buy that statement piece of jewelry. I really loved the blue necklace with rhinestone. It can be worn formal or casual with a jean button up shirt.

I used to come in for the hair pieces because they are unique and the prices were always unbeatable and they still are. Everything in the store is unbeatable. The material isn't plated so don't be expecting something high end for a low low price. Their stuff range from hair accessories, to make up, to prom jewelry, earrings, scarves, hats, and there might be more but this is the only things that come to my mind. I love how creative the pieces are. I have never returned anything here so I do not know the return policy. But I've always been a firm believer of only buying what you know will fit you 100% percent or what you really really like, if not you end up dissatisfied writing reviews like the ones listed below. Overall, I enjoy shopping here and will continue to shop here. Thank you amuse for the shopping experience.

We hadn't been to Japantown in San Jose before, but we regularly visit Japantown in San Francisco…read more Since we were going to be in San Jose anyway, we planned on walking through the neighborhood and I'm glad we did. It's just a few blocks, from what we saw and most of the stores and restaurants were closed on Sunday, but stumbling across Petite Galleria made it worthwhile. One of those nooks with barely more than a shadowbox-sized space, it reminded me of one - a tiny opening to a treasure trove of cuteness! Leeonnista was there to help show us items when we tried to point to the trinkets we were curious about and it was a bit comedic trying to direct her up and down, left and right - trying to communicate which particular item had caught our eyes, while dodging distractions. All the pieces were made by local artists and we ended up picking out two sketches and three pairs of earrings.

L O C A T I O N There are two locations for paid parking which was stated on the website. Paid garage located at 1278 S 10th Street Paid parking lot located at 350 E. Humboldt Street We opted for the closer parking. Luckily you can pay on mobile if you have reception. I luckily did out of the 4 of us that were there. Otherwise, you'd have to wait in line to pay at the kiosk. So budget some time to pay for waiting for the kiosk in case you don't have cell phone reception. Parking was $15 + fee. E V E N T It's a large park and if you show up as one of the first 100 people, you get a free tote bag with this year's design for the event. Unluckily even though we showed maybe half an hour after the opening, it was all gone. So make sure you go early if you want the freebie. The event itself is free and it's outdoors so you can bring your furry friend but they need to be leashed. There are large water filling stations and port o potties. Feel free to bring your water canteens. It said you couldn't bring outside drinks or food but we were able to bring in our own filled bottles as well as some Starbucks drinks. But of course worse case is that you have to bring back your stuff to your car. It's not a far walk but it's still a walk from the parking structure. They do have a nice map of the booths as well as events throughout the day. They also have a bunch of food stands and trucks there if you want to make it a day. We opted to just go outside for food as the lines were long and the day was hot. Although not as big as the Winterfest, this event was a nice outdoor one with various craft goods. I always am in awe with all these makers. They're all so talented! O V E R A L L If you're wanting to do some walking and perusing of crafts, it's not a bad way to spend a couple hours of your day. I'm unsure if there's any free parking around, but you could try searching. We just didn't do much research on it.

It's now harder to visit since I moved 2 hours away, but when I can go, I always have a great experience finding a new dress! Every dress is so romantic, and a perfect fit for shorties like me! I love the fabrics used as they are light and airy. I do have to save up to afford a dress, but it's worth treating myself when I can. Customer service is always great as staff go above and beyond in helping me find the right dress. They are always patient when I'm trying to make a decision (which is hard when you want to buy them all). If you're looking for dresses to make you feel pretty, I highly recommend checking Au La La!

I have bought jewelry from here in the past but stopped coming here because the gold items I purchased all tarnished and the quality was just not worth the price. They did have some cute purse charms. I decided to buy one and got 30% off. The sales associate said they may not be closing for good. They are not sure yet. Well the sign out front claims different. I had just read an article that these stores are closing for good. I really wish them the best. I hope that article was wrong.
