Luxury
Lifestyle Brands
We strive to discover and nurture new premium brands and products for mothers and
babies/children. We truly believe that brands build their value as they evolve from unknown
to well known. We are committed to introducing innovative and fantastic new brands that
commit to excellence both in quality and value rather than attempting to launch already
well-established brands.
The concept of growing together underpins our entire business foundation.
The motto of our company is to develop and grow new quality brands or relatively unknown
brands that carry a commitment to our customers and possess tremendous potential to go
global. Through this experience, we pride ourselves on providing mothers and
babies/children with a safe, secure, homely and happy environment.
About Us
With the launch of Noodle and Boo in 2007,
we have successfully introduced relatively unknown brands such as SwaddleDesigns, Ergobaby, and Yamatoya which eventually evolved to be well-known and the most talked about baby brands, winning first place consecutively in the baby blanket, carrier, and furniture category in Korea. Ever since the company was founded, we have made continuous marketing efforts to increase brand awareness and customer loyalty.
