T-Shirt Paloozahhhhhhhhhhhhh
So we have a lot of really cool T-shirts and we just marked most of them down to prices as low as $3!!!! Here are some of my favorites--come into Kokorokoko before they are gone!
Featured Item: Chain Gang
Yeah this is a good one. Could be great on a woman or a fabulous man. A cardigan sweater with a gold chain motif, tassels and gold "woven" buttons. Good over-sized style for spring, fall or the "summer" that we are having. Check it out at Kokorokoko!

Featured Item: 9 West Corduroy Boots
These boots are DOPE! They have straps made of canvas, lovely gray corduroy and bad-ass treads on the soles that make them look like classics from the future that you never know you needed--or if you are a women's size 9 you CAN OWN TODAY from Kokorokoko!! 
Get Wet
We have a lot of radical bathing suits at Kokorokoko right now. Here are several choice examples including our boy Mickey, Tiger Faces, and Neon Composition Pattern as well as several "body glove" style with zippers up the front.

Featured Item: Streetwalker's Passport
Ahhh, the boots. These boots are made by "Wild Pair" and that pretty much sums them up. They are high heeled "Candies" style with little patches all over reminiscent of a steamer trunk that has traveled far and wide. This patch style was popular in the late 80s because I think it was meant to evoke a life of wealthy jet-setting epitomized in shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"

T-Shirt Shoutout
This men's T-shirt is even better in person. It has so many elements and is perfectly worn in. It is a World Cup Promo from 1994 when East and West Germany were united for the first time since 1938. Es Lebe Deutschland!
2 of a Kind

Heart is Here
So we had some Japanese visitors the other day and they asked us if we were aware that our name means "Heart is Here" in Japanese. Of course I did NOT know that--I had in fact named the store after my imaginary drag queen name Coco Rococo.When I looked up the words "kokoro" (heart or spirit) and "koko" (place or here) I was so excited that this new meaning was revealed to me. What a wonderful surprise!!
DOMO ARIGATO!
