Japanese streetwear brand Swagger opened their latest flagship store last month in the Harajuku district of Tokyo. The decor alone is worth a visit. Based on the hip hop background of Swagger, the store has a real feeling of a recording studio complete with mixers and tables for DJs to spin. The opening of the store would not be complete without the accompanying release of some exclusive items. The items include denim, t-shirts, jewelry and previously seen Swagger x Porter bags.
