Kyoto Emporium

Kyoto Emporium in North Ryde, Sydney is a Japanese take away and gift shop.

It opened a couple of month ago. I live near this shop but I didn't discover it until I started going to a chiropractic which was located opposite to this shop.

I was very surprised that there was a Japanese style gift shop so close to where I live! The shop is running by Keiko & Patric and also Akiko. They are all lovely people.

They are currently selling some of Kyo Modern's hair accessories, chirimen teddy bear and dog straps. They offer a large variety of other Japanese fashion accessories, kokeshi dolls, ceramics, traditional kids toys and many more.

As for food, they have a very good range of sushi, donburi (rice) and ramen & udon (noodle).

The shop is inside a little shopping plaza so it might be hard to see from the main road but you will see a sign outside. When you are in the area, please pop in and check out their amazing range of gifts.

New Arrival at Ebisu Design

Ebisu Japanese Design is one of the best Japanese fashion accessories and homeware shop I know in Australia. It may not look that big from outside but it's actually pretty deep inside complete with a Japanese style garden and a Tatami room(studio) where they run workshops.

It is located in a sunny town Elwood in Melbourne.

I feel so lucky that they sell some of my products.   I think what makes this shop very different to any other Japanese style shops I know is the varieties of products. Apart from Kimono and homewares, you can find many fashion accessories, Japanese style dolls, bags and many more.

The shop owner Miho is also a calligraphy artist so you can purchase her work as well.

Some of Chirimen Gamaguchi purse and pencil case, Nishijin silk and flower mini hair clips are available on the shelf near the counter so please have a look!

Sylvia Chan

Some of my products are available at a boutique clothes store called "Sylvia Chan" in Paddington, Sydney. Please check out the shelf inside the shop.

Sylvia sells formal dresses and accessories. She also does wedding gowns. Don't just look at dresses on display and start thinking "This is not what I'm looking for" or " I like the design but not the colour.." Sylvia can do "anything" so just tell her what you are looking for and she can make/chage it for you!

She did my wedding dress in 2009. We chose 3 different fabrics and she did amazing  hand drawing on my dress!

The price of her dress varies. You will see most of dresses are above $1000, 2000 or more but you will also find dresses  less than $1000 as well.

If you tell her youe price range, she can pull out a suitable dress from her collection or make one for you.
