Frequently asked questions
Are the pieces still available?
Archive pieces are one of one and sell in-store and through direct messages. The prices on this site are the ones we published on Instagram; please send us a DM to confirm a piece is still available before you visit.
How do I buy a piece?
You can buy in-store at Warehouse 32A, Lane 4, Alserkal Avenue, or message us on Instagram to ask about a piece. We reply with availability and the next steps.
How does Japanese designer sizing work?
Many Japanese labels use numbered sizes such as 1, 2 and 3, and the fit varies between brands and lines. When we can, we note how a piece actually fits, for example a size XL that fits like a large. Ask us for measurements if you are unsure.
Which designers do you carry?
Our main pillars are Issey Miyake, Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto, with labels that share their sensibility, such as MM6 Maison Margiela and Sophnet, plus vintage and graphic t-shirts and Japanese magazines.
Is there a café?
Yes. H5 café serves matcha and rotating specials inside the lab. Follow the café account on Instagram for the current menu.
When are you open?
Opening times follow our programme of drops and events. Check our latest Instagram post or send us a DM before visiting.
Can I host a pop-up or event at H5 lab?
We regularly host pop-ups, screenings, portrait days and book meetings. Send us a short proposal by Instagram DM.
