Kodak Apparel, a fashion brand licensed by Eastman Kodak and based in South Korea, has expanded its retail presence with the launch of a pop-up store in Kai Tak’s Airside, Hong Kong. This event marks the brand’s first physical entry into the Hong Kong market.
The pop-up store features an array of Kodak Apparel’s licensed merchandise. The range includes various apparel and accessory items such as jackets, t-shirts, knit caps, backpacks, and socks. The products prominently display Kodak’s heritage, using film-inspired branding and the company’s distinctive red-and-yellow colour scheme.
In addition to its product offerings, the Hong Kong pop-up store pays homage to Kodak’s deep-rooted history in photography. This is evident in the themed photo booth installations found within the store. Additionally, an exclusive t-shirt, bearing the words “Kodak Hong Kong” accompanied by the slogan “You press the button, we do the rest” is on offer to customers.
Since its inception in South Korea in 2020, Kodak Apparel has experienced a rapid surge in growth within its home market. It operates over 100 brick-and-mortar stores, including concession stands in major department stores. The brand’s expansion into Hong Kong follows earlier forays into the Japanese and Taiwanese markets. These developments align with Kodak Apparel’s wider strategy of strengthening its fashion footprint across various Asian markets.
