Korea's No. 1*¹ technical athleisure brand 'andar' will hold same-month POP-UP STORES at major department stores in Tokyo and Osaka, Isetan Shinjuku and Hankyu Umeda Main Store, in June 2026, a first for a Korean brand*². This will be the first event at Isetan Shinjuku in about five months and at Hankyu Umeda Main Store in about a year.
At these POP-UP STORES, 'andar kids' will be unveiled for the first time in Japan. A wide range of items will be available, including yoga and Pilates wear for parent-child link coordination, and highly functional, comfortable, and stress-free clothing. True to andar's brand motto, 'Making exercise a part of daily life,' we propose a new lifestyle that adds an active mood to the family's daily routine.
For women's items, the summer denim that sold out instantly last year will appear at the POP-UP STORE with an updated design. This notable item combines a city-like design and a sophisticated silhouette, allowing for comfortable wear even in the sweltering heat.
In addition, we will have a rich lineup of items perfect for the upcoming season, such as wide pants that create a stylish look and cool-touch items, ensuring comfort during the humid season from the rainy season to mid-summer.
andar will work to expand its offline strategy to further strengthen contact points with Japanese customers. Starting with these POP-UP STORES, we plan to further accelerate the expansion of offline distribution and brand experience in Japan.
