Sites to buy J-Fashion
Also please keep in mind: 99% OF THESE SITES ARE IN THE JAPANESE YEN CURRENCY!
ACDC RAG (https://acdcrag.com/en ) this site is mostly visual kei and decora kei.
CLOSET CHILD online store (https://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/phone/product-list/688/0/&available=1) This is a site mostly focused on (gothic) lolita fashion and visual kei
WUNDERWELT (https://www.wunderwelt.jp/en) Wunderwelt is lolita, and vintage inspired.
(last two suggested by Luka)

Galaxy Broad Shop
- webshop for Freewill bands such as Dir en grey, Merry, gulu gulu,

overseas is expensive.
