On the same floor, Seibu offers a meticulously curated ‘Shoe Salon’ that is located right next to a colossal origami crane tree. Over there, patrons are spoilt for choices with over 20 premier international footwear brands, including Giuseppe Zanotti, Rupert Sanderson, Sergio Rossi and more on display.
