GILT’s Exclusive 'Finest TRUNK SHOW'

On March 13 and 14, 2026, New York-based flash sale giant GILT will host the exclusive ‘GILT Finest TRUNK SHOW’ at the prestigious Club Floor of Hakuhouen in Tokyo. This entirely invite-only event aims to express gratitude towards partner companies and members while showcasing the company’s vision of being the leading solution for brand inventory.

A Unique Blend of Online and Offline Experience

GILT, operated by la belle vie Inc., has successfully bridged the gap between online shopping and real-life experiences. As Japan's largest flash sale site, connecting 280,000 members with around 17,000 brand partners, GILT aims to design a next-generation shopping experience. This event will be the first of its kind in the apparel industry to utilize Hakuhouen's Club Floor, creating a breathtaking offline space that enhances the unique value GILT provides.

Transforming Inventory into Value: The 'No.1 Brand Inventory Solution'

GILT is not just a platform for inventory clearance; it embodies a commitment to transforming excess stock into valuable assets. The company emphasizes a brand-first approach and leverages data to meet current demand. The event will feature seasoned fashion buyers who will visualize their dedication, highlighting the brand's value and proving GILT’s role as a partner in enhancing that value.

‘Buying Trip’: Showcasing Exclusive Finds
