In New York, the store will have about 430 sqm of retail space on Broadway, and will attract attention with LED billboards.

There are 73 official and pop-up Line Friends stores around the world, and the brand also collaborates regularly with different brands, such as pen company Lamy and Italian stationery group Moleskine.

Line Friends grew from sticker characters for the messenger app Line, which has 220 million users globally.
