A look at Takuya Angel

Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long to update. I've been quite busy actually.
I was trying to think what I would like to post about next and decided to do a special on Takuya Angel!

For those of you who are not familiar with this rising popular brand in Japan. The clothes are mostly bright colored (good for a cyber or clubbing look) with a touch of traditional Japanese attire (i.e. kimono, samurai-wear, ...). "TA" consists of designer Takuya and Akiko. Together they come up with the most creative and fun designs! (They also tell you the background behind certain clothing pieces and how to wear them for those who aren't familiar with them!)
Many items are very expensive because they are handmade and in limited quantity. (It's worth it though!) The good thing is that they ship overseas!

Let's take a look at what you can find from Takuya Angel...

First we have a Haori. This is a skirt/jacket that can be worn either way.


Haori costs around $520-590 (original prices are in yen!!)
*Size: n/a

Next, a Hakama short version (includes matching leg warmers!)...


Hakama short costs: $525-580
*A hakama was originally worn by men but these days, women wear them too
*Size: n/a

Hakama long version


Hakama long costs: $525-580
*Size: n/a

One of their more special, newer items is made under a line called "Mononoke." These are fur mufflers with claws. They're super cute and very bright!


*Mononoke muffler comes in two different sizes: slim (about $85) and original (about $105)

Their latest designs consists of their character Hariko. It's a cute cat. These are hariko shirts!


Hariko shirts costs about $115
*Sizes include: M, L, XL/LL

I'm in love with their colorful arm warmers! They have included little claws on them too~~


Knit arm warmer costs about $65
