There's actually a lot of Artifacts stores. The flagship is in the backstreets of Zhongxiao Dunhua station behind the Zara. (Other ones are in Song Yang eslite, zhongshan station, 2nd floor of the mall next to Bellavita)
I actually really loved the store the first time I came across it but recently I have been fairly disappointed with their buy. I think they function much better as a lifestyle store as the styles they pick from the brands they sell are very pedestrian and they tend to fall on the safer side. They use to carry Silent and Oak but they stopped I'm not sure about Odeur either. They are really streamlining their style and especially for women's it comes off a little matronly. Although I do still love the majority of their lifestyle products. They sell ODIN perfumes and Diptyque (although you can buy it from the stall in 101 and get tax return as well.)
A nice benefit though is I believe you become a VIP if you buy something one time over 10,000 TWD which gives you a permanent 10% off for all clothing items (lifestyle not included) which can be used for your friends.
Gothninja store in Eslite is Secret Service, they carry Julius, Henrik Vibskov, KTZ, and Renee Talmon L'armee Jewelry
03 always consistently impresses me. They also carry Yoshiko Creations Paris, TATA, and other fun brands.
A new Trends also opened up in the mall in between Bellavita and Eslite in Xinyi on 2nd floor if you are too lazy to go to the other one.
The older Trends has a pretty big Juun J t shirt selection as well as christopher kane. I'm pretty sure I saw more styles at the Trends in Taipei then I did in OC and Barneys in NY. Trends is men's only and also carries Valentino shoes, SLP, Ann D, etc. There's a pretty nice Rance perfume that I might get although 200$ is really a stretch for me in the fragrance department. Pricing is also relatively high.
There is also a store called Club Designer which recently reopened its flagship that has a pretty big spread of designers. I haven't gone recently but checking their website they have JW Anderson, Mcqueen, Mastermind, Celine, etc and they are the only store as of yet I have seen to carry Alexander Wang in Taiwan.
WOW outlet (Tuan Tuan) in the backstreets of Zhongxiao Dunhua also had a pretty lackluster selection for men's this time I checked.
I really digged Danchu. Although it's small, their selection is pretty good. They carry Thamanyah as well and Parts of Four last time I was there. I was able to try on a Yang Li jacket for sizing that I later purchased on LN-CC (even though I ended up buying a bigger size cause they sold out…) and I was able to get a Nicolas Andreas Taralis long sheer vest as well as a Gareth Pugh ring for 50% off both last year when Danchu was on sale. (They were doing an incremental sale in which buying 1, 2, 3 pieces would result in 40%, 50%, 60% off if I remember correctly.) I already swiped for the Taralis and was about to leave when I spotted the ring and they were nice enough to give me the extra discount on the Taralis as well. Owner is super friendly. Check it out if you have the chance it's a little out of the way though in close proximity to the bigger Trends.
