Korean SPA Brands

You know what SPA means? It is an acronym of 'Specialty store retailer of Private label Apparel.' SPA brand manages design, manufacture, and distribute of cloths by itself, so this makes possible for the SPA brands to make trendy items that fulfill demands of customers. They produce various fashion items at lower price, and that is why they are super popular currently. These days, you can see many foreign SPA brand shops in Korea such as Uniqlo, ZARA, and H&M. However, in this post, I want to introduce you to Korean SPA brands.





Eight Seconds

Eight Seconds is a SPA brand that was launched by Jeil-Mozic which is one of the biggest cloths companies in Korea. When people meet someone at first, it takes eight seconds to have a good feeling. That is why this brand is named like that, and the motto of this brand is making their customers be captivated by the products in 8 seconds. They opened the first store in Seoul last February, and are planning to launch more stores in China. The price range is similar with that of H&M and ZARA.





SPAO

SPAO is a SPA brand that was launched by E-land which is one of the biggest cloths companies in Korea. The name means the original of SPA brand, so it is called SPAO. This brand was plan to be in the competition with the Japanese brand Uniqlo, so its price range is cheaper than that of Uniqlo.





MIXXO

MIXXO is a SPA brand that was also launched by E-land which is one of the biggest cloths companies in Korea. SPAO's products are mainly casual cloths and MIXXO's are for girls and women. This brand deals with various fashion items including shoes, bags, socks, and accessories. The price of the items is cheaper than ZARA.





FOREVER 21

FOREVER 21 is an American brand actually, but the owner of it is Korean-American. Therefore, the style of this brand is very Korean. It manufactures many various and trendy fashion items that attract women from 10's to 50's. The peculiarity of this brand is that they make small quantity of products unlike other brands do, so people cannot buy some items if these are sold out. Price range is quite low.



Tip! If you go to Meong-dong, which is very big fashion spot in Seoul, you can find not only all these Korean SPA brands but also foreign brands. Here is a map of the brand stores. I hope you to visit them sometime!
