We aimed to design a flow that would allow customers to come across items that catch their eye as they wander around the store. In advance of the grand opening, a special website introducing KOMEHYO YOKOHAMA was launched today (July 30, 2025). A reception event for the general public will also be held on Wednesday, September 10th. Twenty pairs (40 people) will be selected by lottery from those who apply via the application form on the special website. They will be among the first to experience KOMEHYO at the store before the grand opening, and will also receive special hospitality, including exclusive novelties and catering on this day. ■KOMEHYO YOKOHAMA opening background Our company boasts the No. 1 domestic market share* in the brand reuse industry, with over 190 stores nationwide selling and purchasing used and new brand items. In the Kanto region, we have flagship stores primarily in Shinjuku, Ginza, and Shibuya, which are frequented by many customers. Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, where we will be opening our new store, is an area with high shopping needs, boasting the second largest economy and growth potential after Tokyo. Until now, Kanagawa Prefecture has focused on specialized buyback stores and e-commerce, but KOMEHYO YOKOHAMA offers both buying and selling services. As an extension of shopping at nearby department stores and the Yokohama Station underground mall, KOMEHYO YOKOHAMA aims to establish and further popularize a reuse culture in the local community as an everyday option. *See Reuse Market Databook 2024 *Komehyo’s unique concept: “Items fulfill their mission only when they are passed down (relayed) from person to person and put to effective use (reuse).” ■Features of KOMEHYO YOKOHAMA KOMEHYO YOKOHAMA, the new store, is Komehyo’s eighth flagship store and offers approximately 5,000 items, mainly brand-name bags from brands like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, and jewelry from brands like Cartier. The main products handled are four categories: brand bags, jewelry, gems, precious metals, watches, and apparel. The overall product lineup has been designed based on the concept of a “port of call” where encounters with goods, culture, and people intersect, and exhibitions, sales, and purchase services are carried out according to the theme of each floor. ・Store Exterior The store exterior is designed with the image of stacked containers. We aimed for a unique exterior that blends naturally into the neighborhood while making it easy for customers to find. In addition, blue clear glass, Yokohama’s symbolic color, is used as an accent on the corner of the first floor facing the intersection. Sustainable materials are used, and the building is environmentally friendly. ・About the concept of each floor Floors 1-3 are for sales, and floor 4 is for purchasing. Each floor offers different products and experiences. 1F｜ICONIC KOMEHYO As the gateway to Yokohama, the store will feature iconic and distinctive products, centered around classic items that are symbolic of each brand, such as Louis Vuitton’s monogram pattern.It is a place that anyone can easily enter, filled with a sense of security and excitement.
