If you are heading to Seoul, here's one place you must stop to have a look at if you are a fan of LINE Friends!
If you're thinking the 3 storey store is just filled with just plushies, accessories or toys for kids, think again. It is obvious that their target group is working adults, primarily females with good spending power!
They did lots of collaborations with several major brands such as Lamy pen, Helinox, Vans, Swarovski etc. I like that idea because I'm assured that my purchases are quality products from these reputable brands.
You will be tempted to purchase almost every single item. If not, at least take photos of them!
To satisfy the excitement of their fans, the LINE store also has a LINE Cafe at the basement level. This is the place to get all your "Instagram worthy" LINE macarons or sweet desserts. When I meant "Instagram worthy", it basically just looks good. Don't expect delicious ice cream, cakes or cookies. The cookies are extremely hard to my liking, soft serve tasted normal and the marcarons failed terribly as marcarons. For the pricing they are charging for their sweets, I would rather spend the money at a boutique cafe along Garosugil.
Then again, if you are a die-hard fan of LINE and fancy having tea time with a life-sized Brown bear plushie who sits at the cafe all day long, you will probably enjoy your day here. Lol..
Update on 24/10/16: Congratulations to Chun Rui (@chunrui90) and Jiying Chung (@jiyingchung) on becoming the winners of our second giveaway from Korea!!! We can't wait to see their happy *brown* faces when they receive the chips!
LINE FRIENDS STORE & CAFE!!!!!!
What is LINE?
LINE used to be just a mobile messenger app which we use to communicate, They have their own set of emoticons featuring characters such as Brown, Cony, James and Moon etc. They are just SO CUTE and full of exaggerated expressions. It has since evolved into a brand of its own.
What's in the store?
Being inside LINE store is almost like visiting Disneyland. The first joy comes from seeing a giant sized Brown right at the door step. You will jump into the queue immediately to wait for that photo opportunity. I feel like a small kid once again. *can't hide that smile of mine*
