History

The brand launched in Japan in 2004-2005 with a focus on down-filled winter jackets sold without logos initially. It achieved rapid growth there with 1200 points of sale before expanding to Europe and other markets. In 2018, it was acquired by F&F, a fashion company listed on the Seoul Stock Exchange.
