Fast Retailing Co has merged its large array of shoe brands under its Uniqlo umbrella aiming to make footwear the company’s second-largest revenue source after apparel.
Uniqlo integrated all of its specialty shoe brands in August, including its View and Bijoux lines, to add five new stores to its network of 85 Candish stores. Candish is a specialty shoe chain offering both the Uniqlo shoe brand and the Candish brand collection under one roof.
Fast Retailing could eventually generate some JPY100bn (US$1.2bn) in annual sales revenue from shoes, compared with the current JPY4bn, the company said.
