Staying true to its concept, 「1LDK」 curates casualwear that blends workwear, military, traditional, and sports influences. The Nakameguro flagship focuses on menswear, but many of the pieces feature simple, universal designs that can be worn regardless of gender. One notable aspect of this store is that the shop manager also serves as the buyer. Thanks to this close connection to the customer base, the selection embodies a sense of realism and wearability.
The store carries premium international brands like 「JACQUEMUS」 and 「Maison Margiela」, but always with the intent to present them as accessible, everyday pieces.
Among them, the French label 「JACQUEMUS」 is especially popular for its minimalist, well-designed fashion and home goods.
The store also offers charming small items like fragrances from the Korean lifestyle and beauty brand 「NONFICTION」.
Each eau de parfum is priced at ¥20,900.
While European and Korean imports are eye-catching, the store also stocks a strong lineup of Japanese brands. Most notably, it boasts one of Tokyo’s best selections from 「VAGUE WATCH CO.」, known for its antique-inspired timepieces. Also not to be missed is 「UNIVERSAL PRODUCTS.」, the store’s original brand. Its designs maintain high standards in materials, patternmaking, and construction—offering timeless silhouettes that feel both elevated and modern. That dedication is one reason the brand has earned such a loyal following.
「VAGUE WATCH CO.」 also sells parts like bezels and heads for customizable builds.
Notable for its classic detailing. Coussin Early Extension — ¥38,500
At 「UNIVERSAL PRODUCTS.」, shirts and pants are especially well-loved, while items like trunks and socks—with a wide variety of colors and styles—also make for great souvenirs.
Trunks and socks, ideal for souvenirs, are also available in a wide selection of colors and shapes.
The store was renovated from a former garage, now tucked away on a quiet backstreet. As its name suggests, the shop is laid out like a 1LDK (one-bedroom apartment), with three distinct spaces that evoke the feeling of moving through someone’s home. This calming layout makes for a relaxed and enjoyable shopping experience. Around the area, you’ll also find coffee stands, galleries, and small boutiques—making this shop an ideal stop on a local stroll.
At the entrance, a warm wood-toned interior welcomes visitors.
To the left is a space that feels like a walk-in closet, with carefully displayed apparel.
Toward the back, the layout resembles a dining room, complete with a functioning sink beside the register counter.
The store’s subtle exterior blends seamlessly into the residential surroundings, with a green tiled facade that serves as a subtle landmark.
The shop windows feature illustrations by artist Yu Nagaba, added in celebration of the store’s 15th anniversary in 2023.
