Fan Favourite OG Korean Brands
Starting off with a fan favourite and one of our OG Korean Brands, ADLV (Acme De La Vie) meaning ‘The Pinnacle of Life’ in French.

Now the brand has expanded into collabs with big names such as Pokemon, Powerpuff Girls, and Hello Kitty, just to name a few.
Every Moment Is Special
Next up is EMIS; standing for ‘Every Moment Is Special’. This modern brand has been seen in an array of K-pop artists such as Jisoo, Eunwoo, Taeyeon and so many more idols alike. EMIS created their following through their extensive range of caps. They have pretty much every colour of the rainbow, from yellow, red, green, blue, black, and of course all the shades in between. EMIS emphasises the need to live in the moment, as their name or logo is embroidered on the front of every cap; a gentle reminder to appreciate every minute that you have. They also have delved into other accessories such as hair clips, hair bands, and bags, making the accessorising game easy for you with all of their options.

A name you can't miss out
A name we can’t let you miss out on; Mardi Mercredi. Established in 2018, Mardi Mercredi has rapidly become a key player in the scene of modern streetwear. Founded by the husband-and-wife duo of Peace Hwamok Park and Valerie S Lee, Mardi Mercredi stands out as a distinctive Korean designer label. This South Korean brand has not only carved a place for itself but has also created a loyal following, thanks to its distinctive aesthetic and unique designs. Created by the belief that there is not a single woman who dislikes flowers, the wife approached her husband with a request to craft a graphic centered around this concept. Responding to this creative challenge, the husband worked diligently to give life to the now iconic “flowermardi” graphic. Infused with vibrant green hues, this distinctive graphic was effortlessly integrated into many of their tees and crewnecks.
