Welcome to the Victorian maiden reserve item collection page. Here you can reserve Victorian maiden’s upcoming items through us, just as you could through Victorian maiden’s web site or Press Shop if you lived in Japan. We are the only US retailer authorized to take Victorian maiden reserve orders.


Victorian maiden is a brand name that carries with it an air of exclusivity in its home country. One of the reasons for this is that all of their items are produced in very limited quantities. In many cases, only enough items are produced to satisfy the reservation list, with none left over for the general public.

Reserving items carries with it the advantages of guaranteeing yourself the exact item and color you want without needing to worry if we'll be stocking it in our store.  It also generally will get you a slight discount if you order during the reserve period - while we can't match VM's own manufacturer discounts for their Japanese customers, we do try to offer our own promotional pricing during reserve periods.

PLEASE NOTE: Items on this page are not in stock and may in fact never be in stock at our store.  These are reserve items - in essence, advance special orders.


Please make a note of the following when placing your reserve order:

1. Payment must be made in full at the time of ordering. In many cases, Victorian maiden is actually producing clothing “on demand”, so they require payment up front. Note that they require this of their Japanese customers as well.

2. Cancellations and changes are not permitted, for the same reason as above. Placing a reserve order is a commitment. Please ensure that you really want the item you’re ordering when you order it. Think of it as purchasing not just the item, but the service of having somebody make your item. That service is provided from the day you place your order until you receive it.

3. Items often cannot be reserved after the closing date, although this rule can occasionally be bent. Please email us if you’re interested in something after the closing date and we will check with Victorian maiden directly. Promotional pricing cannot be offered after the closing date.

4. Infrequently, Victorian maiden may cancel the production of certain items. You will receive a full refund in this unlikely event.

5. We have a limited number of reservations available. Victorian maiden has allotted us only a certain number. We may sell out of reservations, just like with in-stock products. 

6. After a reserve item has been released, it becomes a special order item.  At a certain point, we remove these items from our web site, but you can still email us to ask if we can special order items you see on VM's web site.


To place a reserve order, browse the items below and order as you would elsewhere on our site. You may also reserve items in our store, with full payment. Please read the item descriptions thoroughly, and take note of the reservation period and release dates.

Once we receive an order, it is sent to Victorian maiden immediately, and they treat it as a reserve order placed through their own site. You will then receive your item(s) shortly after its release date.  Note that there is a slight "lag" in shipping times, as VM sometimes holds reserve items until they have enough to fill a box.  You'll receive your items generally within 30 days of their release.

Note that in addition to items you see below (even if there is nothing currently listed below!), we can generally get anything you see still on reserve (or in stock) at Victorian maiden's web site! That includes items outside of the reserve period. VM is very easy for us to special order from - please email us if you'd like to place a special order.
