Jeans, Leggings or Both?
Do you like wearing the skinninest of the skinny jeans but are constantly fighting to get them on and off? If so, you may want to try Uniqlo’s Jeggings. Jeggings, a product that looks like skinny jeans and can stretch like leggings, was launched by Fast Retailing in about 800 Uniqlo stores in Japan at the end of July. There are ten variations in different colors and styles at a cost of 2,990 yen. By the end of this August Uniqlo’s jeggings will also launch in stores overseas including the U.S. , China and elsewhere.
Uniqlo is not the first to bring jeggings to the market, as Abercrombie & Fitch have been selling them in their Ginza store since last year, though Uniqlo’s price of 2,990 yen compared to A&F’s price starting from 8,400 yen up to 16,400 yen is sure to sell more and undercut A&F’s sales.
On the subject of Abercrombie & Fitch, did you know A&F blocks users in Japan from accessing abercrombie.com? They can only view jp.abercrombie.com? This is to block users from seeing the price of A&F products outside of Japan – usually half the price.
