Originally founded in Kyoto, Metamorphose designs clothing that lets wearers express their own interpretation of Lolita style, regardless of sub-genre.
The Laforet store stocks a full range of dresses, blouses, headpieces, socks and accessories, often featuring exclusive in-store colourways and pre-order items unavailable elsewhere.

I was a little nervous because I was a foreigner, but the staff were so kind and I was really touched. The socks were also cute and fluffy with lace.

Extremely friendly and helpful. I was shopping for a friend, and upon request they were extremely kind and let me take a quick photo to confirm it was what she wanted. I came with a link from their website and they led me directly to the dress, and pointed out notable details. They also recommended an accompanying accessory, and kindly waited as I got responses from a friend. Very pleasant shopping!

They have lovely clothes, and the staff are cute and provide very attentive service. The store is a little small, but it's a warm and happy space.

The staff speak English. They're very good at it (I saw them serving other customers).
They readily check product availability and even go to the warehouse to look it up.
I'll go again.
