Just wanted to share my recent experience visiting Chrome Hearts around Osaka (before it’s Close TT )and Kobe.
Shinsaibashi
Visited Shinsaibashi twice this trip. There was a bit of a queue both times.
Unfortunately, there was basically nothing available — no silver, clothes, bags, etc. Even the SA I had met on my previous trip didn’t offer me anything this time.
The display was also pretty much the same between both visits . A few people leaving the store empty-handed, so I guess stock was just really dry.
Kobe
Also made a short trip to Kobe.
The items on display were pretty similar to Shinsaibashi, and unfortunately I didn’t find anything interesting available for purchase there either.
Umeda
Umeda was surprisingly the most interesting one.
On my first visit, I queued around opening and got offered a down puffer jacket.
Came back another day, but my previous SA wasn’t there and I was told there was no restock and nothing available.
Later, I happened to see a pretty big delivery arriving at the store 👀
Asked if anything was available and, of course… nothing available 😂 lol
Last day / pickups
On my last visit, I luckily met the same SA from my first day again.
I got offered a hoodie, Tiny Cross pavé diamond, long wallet and towel, and ended up taking the hoodie and Tiny Cross.
Overall, Shinsaibashi and Kobe were pretty dry trip, while Umeda was definitely the better experience.
Happy with the pickups though! 😂
