Founded in 1987, Handsome is one of the leading fashion houses in South Korea, carrying more than 10 brands including TIME, System, and SJSJ.

 

After being in the industry for over 30 years, Handsome recognised the need to rebrand. WGSN Insight helps Handsome modernise its identity. Through this brand refresh, Handsome was able to tap into new markets yet retain its existing customer base.

With a focus on the importance of colour as a key purchasing driver for the brand’s discerning consumers, Handsome trusts WGSN’s Key Colour reports to deliver the right direction for its collection.
