Rourou/Lotus

Petwork had a collaboration with Rourou and came up with one of the most expensive momoko doll (based on yahoo japan transacted price). Recently Petwork has another collaboration with Rourou and come up with as "ODECO&NIKKI go to ROUROU" dolls and I heard that it was rather popular among collectors.

This interests me to find out more about this fashion brand - RouRou. The brand "ROUROU" was established by a Japanese designer - Maki Hayazono in 2000 and I also notice that, other than having stores in Japan itself, they have a store in Shanghai.
I also take some time to browse through their catalog and collection. Their clothes remind me of Old China clothing, but with a modern twist added to it. I must say their collection is very nice. But the retail price of their collection is more of the high side and most of them are out of stock. One of the T-shirt (pic below) which I like cost 24,000 yen (i.e. S$384 based on exchange rate of 0.016)

Next time I visit Japan again, I may want to consider adding "visit rourou store" to my itinerary.
