Angie La La sells clothes and accessories sourced in Britain and France from Mansion Kirii 104 in Uehara. The buyer's London vintage-shop experience shapes the selection. Sock designer Shiori Tanaka discussed a white shirt bought here and British vintage's influence on her work in a UDS interview. Come for collars, lace and the shape of older cotton garments rather than an American-denim hunt.
WHERE · On foot from here
Which side of the station, and how far
East of Higashi-Kitazawa Station, about 300 m in a straight line from the station point. The position is the official address point and may differ from the entrance. The shaded areas are about 5 and 10 minutes on foot from here.
Walking bands are computed by FOW on the OpenStreetMap surface street network at 80 m/min and drawn as a smoothed approximate area around the streets reached. They ignore exit positions, station interiors, underground passages, signals, slopes and routes inside buildings — not directions; follow on-site signs.

When decoration changes the fastening
European vintage here rewards looking at how decoration affects the way a garment is worn. Cotton drawers attributed by the seller to France around the 1920s retained lace hems; the seller added grosgrain ribbon through the original side buttonholes so the waist could be tied. It is a concrete way to distinguish original construction from a later alteration.
A British-sourced 1970s PHOOL dress offered another comparison: flower appliqué on relatively heavy Indian cotton. Look at the lace edges, the attachment of the appliqué and the weight of the body fabric. On a garment you are considering, test the fastening and inspect marks or thinning inside as well as outside. An old size label is only the beginning; judge the fit, wear and alterations together.
Fittings in a small shop
The address is 3-26-7 Uehara, closed Wednesdays. Check opening times with the operator; choosing a garment category helps focus a visit to the small shop. Allow an estimated 30–45 minutes with fittings. Examine wear and measurements rather than choosing by an old size label alone.
