Another Important Culture is an exclusive line launched by A.I.C in 2001 and a derivative brand that proposed a more urban, adult-oriented bohemian style while building on A.I.C’s natural materials and craftsmanship. Compared with A.I.C’s casualwear, it focused on resortwear and a distinctive product range featuring original materials and prints. It became independent of the A.I.C division in 2011, but remains positioned within the brand family as a line officially derived from A.I.C.

Caravana by A.I.C is a goods-oriented derivative line developed under the A.I.C name. While A.I.C focuses primarily on clothing, this line expanded into categories such as bags, shoes, accessories, and lifestyle goods, presenting the brand’s bohemian worldview through items beyond apparel. It is also treated as an independent brand name on major fashion retail platforms, and can be identified as a sub-line covering product areas distinct from A.I.C’s apparel line.
