A Harajuku accessory brand fusing technology and character design into bold, boundary-pushing wearable pieces.
Chuomachi Tactical Crafts - also known as Chuocho Tactical Crafts or CTC - is a Japanese accessory brand that pushes beyond the limits of conventional design by blending technology with character-driven aesthetics. Founded by Lucia, the label has earned a cult following in Harajuku's dark street-style scene for its sculptural horns, body harnesses, and hardware-laden accessories that look as though they have stepped out of a cyberpunk graphic novel. The brand's Laforet Harajuku store occupies the basement floor, a fittingly subterranean home for work this edgy.\n\nThe product range extends from statement headpieces and wearable horns to intricate chokers, rings, and collaborative pieces with other Harajuku labels such as Ikumi. Each item is crafted with a focus on fabrication and material experimentation, reflecting the founders' backgrounds in graphic and industrial design. Visitors to the Laforet store are encouraged to touch and try on everything, with staff happy to help style pieces into a complete look. The brand also operates an international online store, making its creations accessible to fans worldwide.\n\nFor those who want their accessories to make a statement rather than blend in, Chuomachi Tactical Crafts offers something genuinely different on the Harajuku scene. Head down to the basement floor of Laforet and discover wearable art that refuses to play by the rules.

This shop, located at the back of the 0.5th floor semi-basement of Laforet Harajuku, sells romantic gear. They also sell online through Booth and other sites, but you can try things on, so if you're nearby, it's a good idea to stop by before …

I have only purchased items online before, but this store is impressive as it carries nearly the entire product range. The staff also provide excellent advice on how to use the accessories.

Heads up to anyone trying to go: it's located on the bottom floor, so take the elevator or stairs down when you enter!! Amazing!! I've been following them on Instagram forever and finally got to go in person, and the quality is the same as advertised online. They were so kind and let me touch, hold, and try on things to make sure the items I wanted to buy fit and met my standard. If I see anything new I like on Instagram, I'll definitely pay the extra for shipping because the quality is so good.
