Famous Stores with Embroidery Services
There are quite a few stores where you can choose to have your purchased clothes or accessories embroidered with your favorite letters or symbols.
It's delightful to experience the special feeling and originality of adding a little twist to existing products!♡
In this article, I've compiled a list of chain apparel shops that offer embroidery services.
It's perfect for matching items with your husband, creating things with your favorite initials, or as gifts for your children!♡
① MUJI
Many people probably know about or have used the embroidery service available at some MUJI stores.
You can get embroidery done on fabric items like clothes, handkerchiefs, and jute bags at the store where you made your purchase.
【Price Estimate】
One mark: from 500 yen
Text: Up to 10 characters within a 10cm square for 500 yen
Handwritten illustrations or original marks: Within a 10cm square for either 2,500 yen or 3,500 yen
(It seems there may be times when original embroidery orders are suspended due to high demand...!)
A popular idea among brides is to embroider cursive initials on handkerchiefs to create matching bridal handkerchiefs.
A handkerchief for 290 yen with an embroidery option for 500 yen is a great deal at approximately 800 yen!♡

② GAP
At GAP, you can also request embroidery for names or initials at some of their stores.
For example, embroidery on kids' clothing featuring "My First Denim" for items like baby’s first shoes or spoons is very popular.
Pricing varies by location, but it's common to get one free embroidery for every 5,000 yen spent (or sometimes 3,000 yen or 4,000 yen).
For the second customization onwards, it typically starts from an additional 500 yen.
However, this may only be available for a limited time (and their website didn't provide detailed information...), so it's best to check directly with a nearby shop for the latest information.
③ Tabio (Sock Shop)
Tabio, part of the sock store group, offers an embroidery service for socks.
Unlike MUJI and GAP, orders can be placed online as well as in-store.
The price is an additional 110 yen for 1 to 7 letters of embroidery.
Since you can get embroidery on both casual and formal socks suitable for men's suits, I think it's a lovely idea to gift socks to your husband to wear at a wedding!♡
