Clutch Cafe London

Visiting Clutch Cafe in London has been, once again, an outstanding experience. This was my second time visiting (the first was back in November), and once again, it did not disappoint. I ended up purchasing another pair of Paraboot shoes and a special edition of Lightning magazine focused on vintage Red Wing boots. This time, I was helped by a very friendly Japanese staff member (who, as it turns out, spends some summertime in our country!), and he truly made the experience memorable. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with my purchases, but he also added a couple of thoughtful gifts and took the time to make my wife and me feel genuinely welcome. We had such a great time chatting with him — it turned what could have been just a shopping trip into a fantastic moment. Without a doubt, Clutch Cafe is my favorite store in London. Their selection of Japanese denim and heritage brands is unmatched, and the service is simply next level. Highly recommended! Manu

Knowledgable, enthusiastic and helpful staff. Great to be able to browse such a wonderful selection of clothing. Lovers of those who love The Real McCoy Japan and similar will feel most at home here, in my experience this store was better stocked than the Real McCoy flagship store and their online store. Two floors of joy for consumers to explore and enjoy.

Amazingly good! Selection is good, stuff is friendly. Location is also pretty good, store itself is stylish.

First visit here. Excellent range of Americana and workwear brands. Staff overall seemed uninterested and just followed us around instead of engaging. Big credit to TK (from Japan) who was extremely friendly, knowledgeable about leathers and brands, and gave great recommendations. I went from browsing to buying because of him and discovered a brand through his jacket recommendation that I'm now seriously considering for other pieces. True customer service.

This place is great because of Tomo! Came to this place after seeing it in an online listing and had the best experience working with Tomo! If you go here, you must ask for him. As someone relatively new to style and fashion I had the best experience working with Tomo on developing my style, understanding fashion fundamentals, and trying on new outfits to see what works for my dimensions and tastes. His patience and helpfulness was the best retail experience I've had to date at any clothing shop. In my visit to London I cam to this shop 3 times and specifically requested to work with him. I'm back in NYC have visited similar vintage/heritage/workwear clothing shops and the store representatives are just not the same. With Tomo's help I was able to buy my first pair selvage denim and 2 new bandanas to start elevating my style. I'm excited to go back again soon.

Took in a pair of Edwin to hem. they done a great job and advised me to hem a little less than i originally wanted and it was perfect. Got service from Tim who took his time to chat to me about old school denim and leather jacket. and other garments. first time iv been to their store and it was a great experience. the shop design is very nice with a downstairs floor with a lot of nice items. I normally shop at rivet and hide or son of stag but this is a shop that is just as good. will visit again for sure.

Absolutely amazing store, can’t believe it has taken me this long to visit. Huge selection of stock, a really interesting mix of very well known Japanese brands mixed with more obscure but fantastic quality labels. The shop looks great with plenty of space and something special everywhere you look. The best thing about it though was the staff, lots of places have a great employee or two but it’s rare that everyone is so good. All the people I spoke to were incredibly helpful (and very patient when I couldn’t make my mind up!), I ended up spending ages in the shop and coming back to chat with the staff who had superb knowledge about their stock as well well as denim and vintage clothing in general. The only caution would be to expect to spend a lot, this isn’t fast fashion and you’re buying clothes that will last for years and get better with age and there is so much nice stuff you will want.

Magnificent Japanese Repro shop. Fine selection. Truly excellent service from Tim.
