How nice of you to look out for her!
Not at all, it’s a pleasure. ^^ I can’t always keep track of who wants what since I get a lot of search requests, but when I do find something someone wants I’m super stoked. XD
Anonymous asked: Hello! I was wondering if TokyoPirate can reserve an Alice and the Pirate and/or Putumayo lucky pack? I'm interested in trying to get one of them this year.
Hello :) A Putumayo pack should be no problem. For Alice and the Pirates it will depend on which pack you would like. ^^ I am fully booked for certain packs.
To Anonymous who was looking for a plain black bonnet in the Tokyo area. Closet Child now currently has one. It’s a Victorian Maiden Ophelia Doll bonnet in plain black (5,500 yen). Feel free to email me at contact@tokyopirates.com if you would like me to purchase it for you. ^^

Anonymous asked: Do you know a place where I could find a plain black bonnet in Tokyo area? I just find ones with specific print or coloured ones... Thank you in advance!
Your best bet would be to check out branches of Closet Child, KERA shop and Atelier Pierrot, I would think. I can’t remember seeing any plain black bonnets recently, but they sometimes pop up. Unfortunately, there is nowhere I know of that has something like that permanently in stock.
However, you can order one through Triple Fortune. They do bonnets made-to-order. The only problem is that they take a long time. The usual waiting time is around 1-4 months, but I currently have some items on order for customers that are approaching the 8-9 month waiting period since Triple Fortune are too busy.
Anonymous asked: Hello, I was wondering if TokyoPirates would be taking orders for Alice and the Pirates Lucky Pack online reservation? I know it will be released on 12/10 but I'm afraid they'll be sold out too quickly :( Also, I was wondering if TokyoPirate's commission fee and shipping fee would be cheaper than Tenso?
Hello :)Unfortunately, the happy packs are limited to one pack per person. I have already made reservations for some people in-store. I can try to get one online for you or in-store if you’d like it, but it would only be the JSK Set 2 (high-waisted). I also have two slots available for the BTSSB happy set in blue at this time (pink is full).
As for which is cheaper. I’m afraid I’m not very familiar with Tenso’s methods, so I’m unsure what their overall fee would be. I can tell you that online reservation through me would have a commission fee of 2000 yen regardless of weight. The shipping fee is simply whatever the postage cost is that gets charged by the post office. An in-store commission fee would be 4000 yen + 500 yen travel. :)
Anonymous asked: Do you find it odd that Angelic Pretty hasn't hinted toward any lucky packs yet? I'm worried they might skip out tis year!
It is a bit weird, but I doubt they’ll skip out. Maybe they just got so busy with their crazy amount of releases and fell behind with things. They’ve been knocking them out the park one after another lately.
Lucky packs are pretty lucrative for the company as far as I know, and I doubt AP would pass it up. The suspense makes it kind of fun though. We’ll hopefully hear from them later in December! ^^
Anonymous asked: Hi there! I've been wondering how the chances are to be able do get Cats Tea Party in grey or Holy Lantern JSK in red at closet child? Would it be worth to make a buy-it-on-sight order with you?
Hello ^^ Unfortunately, those ones are really difficult to get in Closet Child since they usually sell out within the hour. I haven’t seen one in person for a long time (only on the blogs). People already have them on their wishlists, so they get priority in order of who requested it first. I’m afraid it means there would be no point in making a buy-it-on-sight order, sorry. I can barely get them as it is, and the chances of getting one for you after all the others are practically zero. ;_;
Here’s a bit more information on the BTSSB and A/P lucky packs now that I’ve seen the samples in-store.
The A/P sets are the same colour scheme, but with different bodices. One has a longer bodice with decoration on it while the other is slightly higher and has a few ribbons at the top. The colour scheme is black with sepia bunnies and other pictures on it with dashes of deep red. It’s similar to last year’s Briar Rabbit’s Paysage design.
The Baby sets come in either deep pink or navy. The hem and accents are red. The pink JSK reminds me a bit of ye olde Tulip Bouquet with its colours and many designs that have followed since.
The blue looks better in my opinion since I’ve always felt pink and red clash a bit. The blue colour scheme is reminiscent of an airmail letter, which I suppose is the point considering it’s a letter-based theme.
The hem of the BTSSB one is cute. It goes in little curvy waves, and the pattern features a little kitten (of course) as well as birds and letters.
