[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] With the cool autumn weather, the five-day Chuseok golden holiday is just around the corner. Amid the unprecedented untact (contactless) Chuseok due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), how about conveying your feelings with fashion and beauty items instead of traditional holiday greetings?
The global outdoor brand The North Face launched the 'Hiking Collection' on the 18th, which is composed of fashion items for the whole family, making it perfect as a Chuseok gift. The 'Rimo Anorak' is a versatile item that takes care of both women's style and health, boasting high storage capacity and practicality.
The lightweight woven training pants 'Stumpy Pants,' inspired by The North Face's signature product 'Denali Pants,' prevent the pants from riding up during intense activities, making them ideal for outdoor activities. They are available in two colors: a sophisticated black and a khaki color featuring tone-on-tone color blocking of khaki and black.
The 'Eco Shield Jacket' is an eco-friendly waterproof jacket made with 100% recycled PET bottle material on the outer fabric. With a solid color and detachable hood design, it can be used for outdoor activities as well as for a neat and stylish look in daily life. The 'Kids Ibex Boa,' great for creating family looks, features a lightweight mesh material on the upper to keep feet comfortable and a Boa fit system that allows kids to easily put on and take off the shoes by themselves. Like the adult products, the shoe insoles are made of natural wool material that is biodegradable in nature.
If your pockets are light, BYC's limited edition 'National Socks Set,' released to commemorate the company's 74th anniversary, is recommended. It features the current BYC logo wearing large headsets along with 'Baekyang Company 1946,' expressing BYC's unique new heritage spanning 74 years. The fashion sock set, containing BYC's heritage sentiment, comes in five colors: white, gray, red, blue, and mustard, allowing styling with point colors.
The 'Croco Crew' collection recently launched by Lacoste catches the eye with the brand's distinctive rich color palette and oversized vintage crocodile logo. The newly introduced bucket bag this season is specially made for trendy Korean consumers, which is worth noting. Also, the Lacoste Premium Leather Collection New Shantaco Collection, born from golf roots, features a fashionable and elegant design, making it perfect as a daily bag.
The Lacoste Chuseok gift event is simultaneously held at all Lacoste and Lacoste Live stores nationwide and the digital flagship, excluding duty-free shops and outlets.
