Kapsoul

Waiting for the store to open, it’s 1235. Not cool at least be on time I’m sure there’s good stuff inside but I can’t check it out cause they’re not open yet.

It’s a small store but it has alot of kool vintage gadgets like this old synthesizer I found which ran about 200 and some. It has records and boom boxes for sale. I learned a thing or two from the clerk. He seems super fuckn chill.

Kapsoul is one of those places you can walk by a million times, but never really SEE. Once you find it though, you’ll fall in love with the genuine, for lack of a better word, SOUL this place has. Takashi, the store owner, curates the store’s merchandise with meticulous care– everything has it’s place and for good reason.
Come to Kapsoul if you’re looking for a unique, truly Los Angeles shopping experience. Neat collectibles from the annuls of popular culture, awesome new and vintage clothing that reps DTLA, and one of the genuinely COOLEST owners I’ve ever had the fortune of meeting.

Love Kapsoul. Everything in this store is perfectly curated. I always leave with a pair of sunglasses or something that I had no idea I needed. Perfect place to find a gag gift. Amazing vintage collection.

Just be there yesterday with a satisfaction. Really enjoyed the time exploring the Takaramono in my mind. The store maked me feel cozy and step around and around in a fascinated way. The decoration is elegant, dedicated, and well-​arranged. Adore it. The Japanese owner was very nice and never bother me. So just do yourself there. Can’t wait for meeting it again.

Interesting clothes and good finds if you’re trendy, perfect for spring st residents.

What is it about the Japanese culture that makes them so damn adorable and fashionably forward? They have such a keen eye for all things creative. (I hope Mama K doesn’t read this review)
This lil vintage shop is owned by a very sweet, very fashionably hip, young Japanese man, that has a very good eye for collectables. From a vintage Batman doll to Vintage Gucci wallets (yes, I bought them both) His tastes are excellent. Quite a few nic nacs that will catch the fancy of many. From tee shirts to Prada purses. You will surely have some recollections of childhood.

Don’t stop looking around! So many treasures hidden in plain sight! I average 3 transactions per visit… always think I am done, and then my FAVORITE item shows up!
check this shop out! Will be back again and again to browse the fascinating selection of items. Thank you Takashi!

Great shop with a lot of fun finds — clothing and accessories for men & women, collectables, DTLA t-​shirts, books (including Darth Vader and Son! So cute!!!), soaps & lotions, and more!

I stumbled upon Kapsoul while walking through Downtown LA. What an awesome collection of hand picked vintage goods!
While I was there, I met the owner of the shop, Takashi. Super nice guy, with really good taste in things pertaining to luxury goods, random vintage stuff pertaining to music, photography, toys/​figurines pertaining to 1980s TV shows/​old Japanese animé stuff, and cool vintage Cazal/​Ultra Goliath style (Run DMC) sunglasses & fashion items.
Kapsoul has a TON of fresh, stylish old school sunglasses and eyeglass frames.
A hipster couple was in there buying some cool vintage Louis Vuitton and MCM wallets while I was there. Kapsoul actually has a good selection of vintage LV, Gucci, MCM and Goyard leather goods.
There were also some peeps in there checking out the vintage Star Wars toys, Nintendo cartridges & accessories, and 1980s A-​Team toys.
Things that captured my eye while I was there: this super dope De La Soul skateboard, this big jazz trumpet-​shaped candleholder and a vintage Kodak film carrying bag, which could be repurposed for digital camera accessories.
There were also some cool metal cases and containers there. I was on my way to a meeting, so I couldn’t see everything I wanted to… but I’ll definitely be back there again soon!

Great store Great workers awesome prices. I like the variaty of things you can buy here. From Vintage clothing to Glasses, gadgets. The owner is very nice and makes the small place looks great. cozy and prices are great. They carry unique DTLA shirts that any tourist and LA resident would love to have. Good Job !!!

The owner is so laid back, he owns the world’s only laid back chihuahua. Even though my excitable dog unsuccessfully tries to provoke the nice-​guy chihuahua, and even though I haven’t bought anything in months, the owner still gives me a friendly hello. I feel guilty now… I better buy something this week.

I always enjoy coming in to see what Takashi has in the store. He curates the space effortlessly and usually has something fun I haven’t encountered before. Some of the items are just cheap fun gifts, but they often have some great vintage clothing pieces as well. I’d love to see more people shopping here so this great little shop can last for a long time.
Towards the back of the shop you can check out some harder to find vintage boom boxes, records, toys and other cool stuff.

AWESOME clothing and toy store in the Old Bank District. This store sells lots of really cool vintage and new quirky fashion. Really interesting jewelry, accessories, and sunglasses. Also, there are lots of fun toys, little things for your apartment, and old handheld video games like Space Invaders. Kapsoul also has a HUGE vinyl collection, especially 80s and early 90s hip hop. The store also sells turntable mats with its logo on it.
The owner, Takashi Masuda, is a really cool and friendly guy. His super cute chihuahua is also a constant presence. A great business to support :)
