For three days, 10/6 (Mon), 7 (Tue), and 8 (Wed), European children’s clothing brand “loulou EMIU” will be holding a POPUP.
Here it is↓
The hours are 11:00〜17:00, so it looks like an easy place to stop by after lunch. They’ll be unveiling brands they’re carrying for the first time, including pieces from the autumn/winter collection.

The address is Arpa Ashiya, 1-25-103 Funadocho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
These are the kind of clothes that make people say, “So cute!” Timeless designs loved by people of all ages.
- Fabrics and designs unique to Europe that you can’t find in Japan
- The hand-smocked embroidery by artisans, impossible to replicate through mass production, is just adorable
- Some items are so popular that even the brands themselves don’t have enough fabric to keep making them
They look great in photos with parents and children, or siblings. And since they’re rare in Japan, you’re unlikely to run into anyone wearing the same outfit. It’s also nice to hear compliments at occasions like omiyamairi shrine visits or recitals.
They also carry shoes and accessories from brands favored by the British royal family to match the clothing. Apparently they’re so comfortable that every child who tries them on ends up wearing them home.
There will be workshops too
- 10/6 (Mon) 13:30〜16:00: Baby hair clips (2 clips / approx. 30 min.) 1,200 yen
─ You can also choose fabrics that are only available in Europe. Materials are limited, so if you’d like to join, applying in advance via Instagram is recommended. - 10/7 (Tue) 13:00〜: Brewing and tasting comparison of organic & caffeine-free coffee 1,000 yen

European children’s clothing brand “loulou EMIU” is already the kind of brand where you’re unlikely to find anyone else wearing the same thing, but they’ll also have items that aren’t listed online. Childhood passes by in the blink of an eye, so stop by and find a piece that brings out your child’s natural cuteness just as they are.
