Consignment sales booth

At the consignment sales booth, GLM sells works on behalf of artists who live far away or are busy and find it difficult to participate.

This is a brand that handmade hats and accessories, mainly Gothic and Lolita.

The design, which adds a new element to the old school atmosphere, is very lovely, and many people may know this hat with ears.

"Ir:s n:gra"

 

A unique and original accessory that looks magical.

This brand is based on the concept of Gothic and fantasy, and produces bat wings and cat motifs as well as gorgeous and luxurious accessories.

All of the items on the GLM10 were popular, but the bat wings were especially popular!





In addition, after the GLM10 closes, items from brands exhibited at the consignment booth were sold online.

Online, the appeal of this site is that you can enjoy your shopping while reading the explanations each item at a time!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the brands who exhibited at GLM10, customers who came to the venue, those who enjoyed shopping online, and those who supported us.

This time we had 2,000 customers, and even those in their teens and early 20s who have just started playing Lolita have increased significantly since before, making it a great event to be held up to the 10th event.

I realized how many people have a common hobby of "Lolita Fashion," and even now, about a month after the event, I still feel a sense of excitement when I remember the day.

We are also very sorry for the fact that so many customers came to our store, and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the crowds.

From next time onwards, we will focus on creating a venue where customers can enjoy comfortably.

We would also like to thank the staff for their warmth on the day. All of our staff look forward to your visit in the next session so that we can meet the kindness of everyone who visited.
