Our Story

The founders of TOKYO HERITAGE LUXE

Hi from Fukuoka, Japan πŸ‘‹

We are the two people behind TOKYO HERITAGE LUXE β€” a small, family-run vintage shop specializing in authenticated pre-owned luxury from Japan.

What started as a shared passion for beautifully made bags has grown into a licensed secondhand business with 3,300+ international sales and a 99.7% positive rating on eBay. Every Louis Vuitton Speedy, every Hermès tote, every Chanel wallet in our store has passed through our own hands here in Fukuoka.

Why buy vintage from Japan?

Japan is famous for how carefully people look after their belongings β€” and for some of the strictest secondhand-dealer laws in the world. We are a government-licensed dealer (叀物商 / Kobutsusho license), which means every item we source is legally traceable and professionally checked.

How we authenticate

  1. Sourcing β€” we buy only from licensed Japanese auction houses and dealers, never from unverified individuals.
  2. Physical inspection β€” stitching, hardware, date codes, materials and smell(!) are checked piece by piece.
  3. Honest photography β€” we photograph every flaw. What you see is exactly what arrives.
  4. Guarantee β€” if an item is ever proven inauthentic, you get a full refund. No questions asked.

Our promise

Fast shipping from Japan (most US orders arrive in 2–5 days), careful packaging, and a real human answering every message β€” usually one of the two of us in the photo above.
