Any info on the different umbro sites and how to navigate or is there another retailer to go through? I already felt like they were trying to hide their good pieces with their normal site and “umbropremier.com” for north america and now there’s the even better pieces in Korea

honestly not really. You could potentially use a proxy but it’s not as ideal of course. I think the only move is to go to the source — one ticket to South Korea

it's because all those brands are ran by different parent companies in japan. they're essentially different brands aside from the logo being the same

While true I do find that there’s more of a “taste” element coming out of the Asian divisions!

definitely! though, japan is its own off-kilter strange ecosystem and really not apart of whatever else is happening in asia

That L.L. Bean coat. 😍 I’ve added “check out L.L. Bean store in Japan” to my to-do list next time I’m there! The Beams Plus stores I checked out in Tokyo were so cool, but you’re right, they have so many sub-labels, and shopping in person was sort of difficult to figure out what made each of them different. Can’t wait to go back!

Yeah that’s definitely something you kind of learn through experimenting with different brands. There’s definitely some crossover but it’s cool to see how many styles they offer
