Founded in 1989, AS KNOW AS CO., LTD. produces a number of fashion lines for
women in their teens,
twenties, and thirties.
AS KNOW AS opened its first store in 1994 in the trendy Harajuku shopping district.
It now directly manages over a hundred stores throughout Japan.
AS KNOW AS began as a wholesale vendor and remains faithful to the original plan.
In 2007 it built new headquarters to integrate all sections of the
company--design, patternmaking,
production, sales, logistics--and to accommodate the many wholesale clients
who come from afar six
times a year to place their orders.
International success can be traced largely to i.t, a listed Hong Kong
retail company with exclusive
vending rights in China.
AS KNOW AS is a hit in Hong Kong and also has a small but successful
presence in Taiwan, Shanghai,
Beijing, and Kuwait.
