Castelbajac Taiwan planning its third store

Korean golf-wear brand Castelbajac Taiwan plans to open its third store within the next two months.

The brand also plans 20 more stores over the next five years.

The company hopes to make Taiwan a springboard into other new markets across the region.

“The Taiwanese market would serve as the gateway to expand further into the new countries including Hong Kong, Vietnam and China,” an official from the company said.

In order to enhance its image as an upscale brand, Castelbajac will open stores only within department stores.

Castelbajac entered Taiwan in March, with the first store at Taipei’s Pacific Sogo Department Store and the second at Hanshin Department Store in Kaohsiung.
