Prior to the online launch, &RSON will also hold a pop-up event at DRAPEAU ANNEX in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, for two days (27 March 2022 to 28 March 2022). The pop-up event will have items included in this third collection and a limited number of items from the first and second collections. In addition, customers can apply for pre-orders of “&RSON BLOSSOM SHORTS” and the first 200 customers to purchase a set of items named “ COMPLETE SET 3rd” will receive an original t-shirt as a free gift, amongst other special offers exclusive to the pop-up event. Tomoyan tapped on AnyMind Group’s products including AnyFactory, AnyShop, AnyLogi and AnyChat for the planning, design, goods production, e-commerce enablement, logistics and conversational commerce, ultimately leading to the launch of the &RSON brand in August 2021 and the launch of this collection and past collections. When &RSON products first went on sale in August 2021, all products were sold out within an hour of going on sale. The much-anticipated spring collection sports four items including basketballs, sweatshirts, long t-shirts and towels, and a “Complete Set” that contains the aforementioned items along with an original branded photo book, a limited edition community participation card and other items.
