For the NEW PEOPLE grand opening on August 15th, 2009, we invited a vendor from Japan to join us to be a part of the J-POP SUMMIT Festival. Their brand is called STORE. Part of the project they introduced was a t-shirt that could be sewn together on site, as the customer picked the two sides to be put together. It is a collaborative effort to make your own color combo, and watch their sewing machine bring together your vibrantly unique t-shirt.

At our store, we are not able to perform the “on-site-sewing”, but STORE has given us a plethora of combination that you may pick yourself. Grab the one of a kind “Lupin” t-shirts from STORE, at the TOKYO CREATORS GARDEN at NEW PEOPLE 2F.

Our staff at TOKYO CREATORS GARDEN have started their own store blog! Check out products and stories at http://tokyocreatorsgarden.blogspot.com/
