YOUR FAN
WEGO is a Japanese fashion brand whose origins trace back to a 3-tsubo secondhand clothing shop opened in Osaka in August 1994 by founder Masafumi Nakazawa. Starting with the sale of secondhand clothing, it now plans, manufactures, and sells apparel and fashion accessories, and operates as a “fashion entrance store” offering products at low prices and with high quality. Centered on street-born culture, it offers a wide range of original products, secondhand clothing, miscellaneous goods, and events, and operates approximately 180 stores nationwide. Its “YOUR FAN” motto expresses a philosophy of respecting diverse individuality.

Concept

There can be as many kinds of “ordinary” as there are people. That is the future WEGO aims for.

An outlet line that re-edits products from each WEGO season as a separate label, offering a sales channel distinct from regular current merchandise. Officially, it is positioned as a label where shoppers can enjoy finding items left in the warehouse as bargains, and is characterized by an easy-to-browse, easy-to-search sales floor and uniform pricing. While WEGO itself presents new releases and current trends, and WEGO VINTAGE handles secondhand clothing, WEGO OUTLETS plays a role in recirculating unsold inventory of new products.
