Many of you may have been sad to hear that The Pink Cow was closing. Even though it only closed to relocate, the original Harajuku space had a quirky, living-room feeling that many will miss.
The good news, however, is that the new place (opposite the Aoyama Park Tower between Shibuya and Omotesando) gives Traci Consoli -- The Pink Cow's vivacious owner and creator -- much more space in which she and her customers can strut their stuff.
Traci agreed to let me check out the premises before they officially opened. We found somewhere to sit among a mountain of boxes and upended furniture. Everything was covered in the sawdust of work-in-progress. Traci opened a chilled bottle of white wine and apologized that we'd have to use paper cups as she hadn't, as yet, been able to find the wineglasses.
