China’s Tan Mujiang opens first store in USA

Chinese wooden-comb manufacturer Tan Mujiang has continued its international expansion with the opening of its first flagship store in the US.

The store dubbed as H0006 is located at Flushing Main Street in New York City and carries combs made from natural materials by traditional Chinese handicrafts with “beautiful shape, smooth lines, exquisite texture, rich colors and fine hand feel”. It is Tan Mujiang’s second store in North America after Toronto, which opened in May.

The manufacturer said it has obtained more than 80 patents since 2013 and has been providing supplies to more than 1200 shops in China and nine flagship stores in Southeast Asia, Toronto and New York.

The company says it plans to popularise its brand by operating franchised stores worldwide. It also plans to increase its investment in overseas market promotion by participating in grand international exhibitions and will promote products on popular social media internationally.

Tan Mujiang also sells through Amazon and eBay.
