As Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo launched a new product in collaboration with famous overseas designers today (13th), customers who want to purchase it in front of some stores flocked.
UNIQLO launched the'+J' (Plus J) collection in collaboration with world famous German designer Jill Sander.
There are 32 women's products, 26 men's products, and 5 accessories.
This is the second time that the'+J Collection' was released after 2009. When the'+J Collection' was launched in October 2009, hundreds of people flocked before opening in front of three stores in Seoul on the first day. It also raised sales of 50 million won.
Even today, when the second collection was released, I saw people standing in long lines in front of some stores to enter.
In particular, at the Sinsa branch in Seoul, the Jungang branch in Myeongdong, and the Lotte World Mall branch, a lot of people flocked around 11am, the store opening time, and most of the popular products were sold out at stores.
It is pointed out that the boycott of Japanese products (No Japan), which started last year due to crowds of people in UNIQLO stores, has withered.
UNIQLO, operated by Japan's Fast Retailing, has been the target of boycotting Japanese products after Japan's export restrictions to Korea last year.
Japan's Fast Retailing recently announced its fiscal year 2019 results, revealing that it suffered operating losses in Korea.
