"I believe that if you tidy your space, you can transform your life. The secret is to discover what sparks joy for you and to give these things a home," Kondo said.
The 36-year-old Netflix star explained that the collection aims to hold every person's household items that can make their everyday routine more manageable.
The "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo" star and the store's exclusive product line has over 100 sustainable storages and organization items.
