Brand

INTRODUCE

title_line

brand_ceoimg
In 1995, Huikuen Corporation was established based on our 20years of experience in the field of leather shoemaking and our craftsmanship determined to make only the best products. We specialized in crocodile and ostrich handbags and exported them to Japan. In 2001, we developed our own brand “Hormiga” to overcome the limitations of OEM and registered it as a trademark. In the same year, we exported our products in our own brand to Japan. In 2006, we launched Hormiga in the South Korean market of luxury brands, which was a very barren market for domestic brands. We challenged ourselves in the market of highest-grade crocodile handbags, which was overwhelmed by import crocodile handbags, to contend for victory. In August, 2009, we opened our first boutique at the Gangnam branch of Shinsegae Department Store. Today we run 15 boutiques under our direct management at Hyundai and Lotte Department Stores.

Market Environment of the U.S.A.

title_line2

“Increasing Polarization of Consumption”

The economic downturn has given the biggest blow to the middle class,
but demands for high-priced products are still going strong, which indicates the increasing polarization of consumption in the nation.
For instance, high-priced padded coats (e.g. Moncler) in the range of 1,500 to 3,000 dollars sold out at full price,
whereas middle-priced padded coats (e.g. DKNY) in the range of 300 to 500 dollars are on huge discount sales.

“Expansion of the Korean Wave and the Advancement of Korean Brands”

The expansion of the Korean Wave has rapidly increased the awareness of Korean brands,
which are captivating American consumers with excellent quality and fast market responses.

“Increasing Demands for Super High-Priced Luxury Products”

The world’s largest market, the American market, has witnessed ongoing increase of demands for super high-priced luxury products.

Background for the Launch of the Hormiga Black Label

title_line


European crocodile handbags have the following characteristics

· Too expensive
· Limited designs and few colors
· Six months or longer waiting time after placing an order
· Limited after-sales service

We launched the Hormiga Black Label as an alternative for European crocodile handbags.
