Our K-Picks This January
Since it’s the first month of 2022, many of you have probably donated or get rid of old items you don’t want to bring in the New Year. This means your closets and racks finally have some space to fill!
That being said, you can begin your shopping this January starting with these items fresh from Korea.

Since this is THEFACESHOP’s collaboration with one of Seoul’s hottest fashion brand Dew Dew, it is expected that the products will follow the same theme. For instance, the eye shadow palette in this collection is packed in a wardrobe style box, and designed with various fashionable outfits that compliment the 8 shades.
It is filled with neutral colours for a chic look, but also has dynamic and glittered tones for a fun night out! You can even mix and match the shades if you’re feeling playful or experimental.
The wardrobe eye shadow palette is exclusively available at THEFACESHOP retail stores island-wide for $50.

ADLV stands for the French saying “acme de la vie”, meaning “the pinnacle of life”. Thus, the Korean street wear brand’s aim is to give maximum comfort and performance in their everyday urban lifestyle products.
Endorsed by the popular girl group TWICE, ADLV specializes in oversized clothing just like this graphic tee designed with a baby astronaut at the front. Because we all know that being in space requires years of education and experience, it makes the shirt more quirky and unique.
You can get this item here for $72.
MLB Jennie Tweed Overfit Bucket Hat

MLB is established in 1997 by Korea’s leading fashion company F&F. It specializes in modern contemporary fashion inspired by the Major League Baseball.
The brand became known for selling baseball caps and chunky shoes but over the years, it has evolved and started offering other accessories such as bags, jackets, socks and bucket hats.
This item for example, carries the logo of New York Yankees and comes in two colours of black and brown. It is not the usual jerseys and caps merchandise that shows off your favourite team, so it’s an ideal item if you just want to show your support in a low-key way.
You can get this item here for $58.
