Matin Kim, a renowned fashion brand from South Korea, is set to expand its presence in Japan with the inauguration of a flagship store in Tokyo. The move is a part of the brand’s continuing collaboration with Musinsa.
The upcoming store will be situated in Harajuku, a neighborhood widely known for its vibrant fashion culture. Spanning two floors, the outlet will occupy roughly 195 square meters. Slated to open its doors on April 26th, the new location marks Matin Kim’s third establishment in Japan, following the successful launches in Shibuya and Nagoya.
Unlike its previous outlets located in shopping malls, this new store stands out as Matin Kim’s first standalone store in the country. The brand perceives this as a significant progression and intends to utilize the venue as a platform to exhibit its unique identity and innovative approach to fashion design.
Apart from showcasing its extensive array of regular products, the store will feature Matin Kim’s latest Spring/Summer 2026 collection and exclusive limited-edition items. Additionally, the brand plans to enrich the customer experience by hosting a variety of experiential events and other engaging activities.
