Bosideng MAN is an official menswear line launched to expand the parent brand’s non-down offerings. It covers styles ranging from casual to business casual and was once a major non-down brand in the group’s diversification strategy, contributing to sales. The 2014 interim report recorded a revised positioning targeting primarily consumers aged 25–40. The group subsequently began reorganizing its non-down division from fiscal 2019 and proceeded to scale back Bosideng MAN. It complements the parent brand’s down products in terms of target customers and category.

AREAL is a premium urban sub-brand announced by Bosideng in October 2025.

It was initially set to roll out in stages at selected stores and pop-ups in China. The brand is positioned to drive Bosideng’s expansion into the high-end market, clearly differentiated from the existing mass-market Bosideng line in price point and design direction.
