    I thought the only Graniph store in Ikebukuro was the one in Parco, but I found this other small shop the other day. It’s near the back entrance of the Mitsukoshi department store, across the street from the Louis Vuitton store. I prefer it to the Parco retail space, since it feels more like a…

    As I mentioned the other day, I picked up a few new tees at Graniph earlier in the week, 3 to be exact. The one to the left is a design by Stephen Crowhurst. He’s a Canadian designer I had gotten in touch about participating in Canadian Style (we ended up not being able to…

    For some reason, Paul is getting all hot and bothered by what looks like the new Sony Ericsson W42S for AU. Me, I think it’s ugly as all hell. “Walkman” features? Please. You have seen my current keitai, right? More from Paul: I am getting pretty excited by this spy shot of what looks like…
