ARKET to open first store in Korea
ARKET is to continue its expansion in Asia with the opening of its first store in Korea.
Due to launch in 2021, the bricks-and-mortar shop in Seoul will sell the brand’s range of Nordic inspired clothing and homewares.
Pernilla Wohlfahrt, ARKET managing director, said: ”Opening the new store in Seoul is an incredibly exciting step for us, as it is our first physical location outside of Europe. We are looking forward to finally bring the full ARKET experience to the Korean market, where our aesthetics and values of sustainable design have had a strong following for many years.”
Launched in 2017, ARKET currently has 21 physical stores across major European cities including Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London and Berlin. In 2019, the brand launched a global shopping site and has also recently opened a digital flagship store on China’s Tmall platform.
