Japanese Shoppers in rush for Lucky Bags

Japanese Shoppers in rush for Lucky Bags. Major department stores across Japan kicked off business for 2010 on Saturday by offering “lucky bags” at low prices to entice customers. These have been gaining in popularity as consumers search for bargains amid the global economic downtown. Department stores such as Mitsukoshi, and Takashimaya prepared various lucky bags with most selling out straight away in the morning. A lot of the customers had been lining up before dawn and rushed as soon as the doors opened to grab a bargain.
