・Profile of the complex imported goods EC "ZAC MUSEO"
1) History and Purpose: From BtoB to BtoC due to expanding need for apparel fashion goods.
Upon reviewing our wholesale sales to department store apparel and fashion building brands, our imported goods have approximately doubled in sales within these few years. With the present COVID-19 situation, the number of EC users have grown, giving us the opportunity to start EC sales, from BtoB to BtoC, using our own network to procure goods from our Milan and HK offices working in tandem with our domestic planning and sales teams. We aim to establish another source of income by expanding sales directly to customers in addition to our usual wholesale sales to businesses.

The name comes from "ZAC", a pun of "ZACCA" that means goods in Japanese and "MUSEO" is museum in Italian. This season we are featuring the bag brand "NOVIA" that offers simple designs of high quality for a wide age range of women. Other factory brands of scarves and stoles and other items will be gradually added from next Spring, making this EC site a complex store offering conservative yet trend-conscious items generally priced from 20,000JPY to 30,000JPY.
