Have you been to Tokyo? Well I haven’t but I can fool people that I have. Do you love Hello Kitty? If so, I know where to go to get a Hello Kitty holding a megaphone, with her skeleton on the outside. Via Alley stocks an unusual and eclectic range of products ranging from clothing to soft toys from a predominantly Japanese but also local and European designers. The clothes were not so much my taste, however I loved the unique rubber band digital watches and I don’t think I have seen wooden pens anywhere else. I think my overall favourite were the soft toys, which appear to be mutant alien visitors from a woollen planet. Via Alley also stock shoes, fantastic lamps and clocks(the wooden digital clocks have to be seen to be believed). The prices are not cheap but they do have some reasonably priced sale items(so you might snag a bargain) and for the innovativeness and uniqueness of the product range, the prices are to be expected.
