Musinsais a fashion business company that has become a launchpad for rising stars in the fashion industry. From streetwear to high-end fashion, Musinsa’s extensive catalog features an array of clothing, accessories, and footwear from both local and international brands.

Musinsa has raised $190 million in a Series C funding round led by KKR, with participation from Wellington Management.
