Previously developed as an original brand of ROSE BUD, it was presented as a collection offering clothing and shoes for both men and women. Unlike ROSE BUD’s main store brand, whose assortment centered on women’s items, it also included products for men and served as a shopping option for couples. Past official materials listed it alongside ROSE BUD as a brand carried by the store, but it is not included among the main store brands featured in current store information and is a past derivative line distinguished from the current lineup.

Directed by a press representative at ROSE BUD, it debuted as a D2C brand in fall 2020. Initially, it focused on fashion accessories such as bags, hats, and scarves, drawing on the culture of the 1990s and 2000s. It later expanded into apparel, including sweatshirts and knitwear. Unlike CREOLME and GENE HEAVENS, which center on clothing, it is distinguished by starting with accessories that serve as styling accents and by adopting a primarily online sales model. It is a spin-off brand that complements ROSE BUD’s broad styling proposals from a different angle.
