FamilyMart Enhances 'Convenience Wear' Collection
As FamilyMart prepares to celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026, they continue to embrace a spirit of innovation and creativity with their original apparel brand, 'Convenience Wear'. Since its launch in 2021 in collaboration with fashion designer Hiroshi Ochiai, this brand has aimed to provide quality, accessible, and stylish clothing options to customers who frequent convenience stores. The new product line, set to debut on March 13, 2026, will offer fresh options that elevate everyday style.
New Sunglasses Colors
One of the standout products from last year, the Convenience Sunglasses, saw remarkable success with total sales around 40,000 pairs. Adding to their increasing popularity, FamilyMart announces two new brown color variations alongside the classic black. These sunglasses are not just fashionable but also functional, boasting UV protection by blocking 99% of harmful rays. The original 'Boslinton' design, a unique blend between the Wellington and Boston styles, features signature FamilyMart colors at the temple ends.
What's more, the frame is crafted with eco-friendly materials. The use of 'Tritan™ Renew,' a recycled plastic, underscores FamilyMart's commitment to sustainability. The polarized lenses, designed to reduce glare and prevent light distortion, are made from bio-derived triacetate.
