N.Cat Opens First US Store

Fashion accessories brand N.Cat has officially entered the US retail market with its first brick-and-mortar location at the Del Amo Fashion Center regional mall in Torrance, California.

The store features a wide variety of Korean fashion accessories, including jewellery, hair accessories, bags and lifestyle essentials, which N.Cat says are designed for “mixing, matching and everyday self-expression”.

The company says the Torrance store marks the beginning of its long-term US growth strategy. It is preparing to open its second US location at Brea Mall in Brea, California, in September, with plans to pursue future franchise opportunities as it grows across the US.

Founded in Seoul in 1991, N.Cat has grown into one of South Korea’s most recognised fashion accessory retailers. It has more than 140 stores in the country.

“We are thrilled to introduce Seoul-inspired, trend-forward fashion accessories to the US market and connect with American consumers through our first N.Cat store,” said N.Cat CEO Jin Ho Yang.

A Simon Property Group mall, Del Amo Fashion Center spans more than 2.5 million square feet, with anchor tenants including Macy’s, Nordstrom, JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
