gelato pique from Japan

What is gelato pique and why is it hard to buy outside Japan?

gelato pique is a Japanese loungewear label operated by Mash Style Lab, built around soft knit roomwear rather than outerwear. It sells mainly through Japanese retail, the Japanese e-commerce malls and its own domestic online store, all of which deliver inside Japan only. Collections are seasonal and rotate quickly, and the brand runs character collaboration capsules that are produced in limited quantities for the Japanese market. Once a season ends, the domestic secondhand market is where those pieces continue to circulate, which is why overseas buyers usually end up shopping Japanese marketplaces rather than a storefront.

How does gelato pique sizing work?

A large part of the range is sold in one size, labelled F or フリー (free size), with S / M / L appearing on fitted items and on some men's pieces. Free size is not a universal fit — it is cut to a Japanese standard silhouette, so the numbers the seller lists matter more than the letter. Check these measurements, which Japanese listings give in centimetres.

• 着丈 (kitake) — total length
• 身幅 (mihaba) — chest width measured flat
• 袖丈 (sodetake) — sleeve length
• ウエスト / 股下 — waist / inseam, for the trouser half of a set

Where do gelato pique items show up on the Japanese market?

Different Japanese sites hold different kinds of stock, and the difference is worth knowing before you search. New-season pieces sit on the retail malls; discontinued colours, collaboration capsules and new-year 福袋 (fukubukuro, lucky bag) contents move on the consumer marketplaces.

How much does shipping gelato pique from Japan add to the price?

The total is assembled from the components below. Loungewear is the friendliest category for international shipping: it is light, it compresses, and several pieces consolidate into one parcel without pushing the carton into a larger size band. If you are buying more than one set, ordering them together and consolidating at our Japan warehouse is what lowers the cost per item.

What is もこもこ, and why is it in so many gelato pique listings?

もこもこ is the Japanese word for the fluffy knit texture the brand is best known for, and sellers use it in place of a line name. That is unusual and useful: gelato pique listings lean on fabric words, so the fabric term is often the fastest way to find the exact line you want.

• ジェラートピケ — the brand name in katakana
• ルームウェア / 部屋着 — roomwear / loungewear
• もこもこ — the brand's signature fluffy knit texture
• 福袋 — the new-year lucky bag, frequently resold piece by piece
• 新品未使用 / タグ付き — unused / tags attached
