Located in Myeong dong, Aland is an attractive, stimulating concept store with four levels of male and female clothing and accessories. It is similar to Urban outfitters in combining vintage, unusual labels, handmade jewellery and quirky stationary. With battered cupboards for changing room and broken old radios as decor, one could spend hours in here enjoying the electronic tunes and admiring the effortlessly hip shop assistants.
The store carries around 80 labels, ranging from affordable to purse breaking. It is especially great for denim with brands such as Cheap Monday. The Korean designs are distinct with well cut blazers, textured leggings and printed cotton t-shirts. I spotted a beautiful, navy, wool coat with a detachable cape, a practicable take on this seasons cape trend.
The jewellery is pretty and cute. There are delicate bracelets with birds and semi precious stones, lavish headbands adorned with feathers and intricate, frivolous earrings channelling old Hollywood glamour.
Unfortunately, Aland is susceptible to the pushing and shoving crowds of Myeong dong at the weekend. So, I would recommend visiting this store on a weekday, when you can leisurely browse the racks of stylish designs. Additionally, there is also an online store http://www.a-land.co.kr/shop/main/index.php.

I totally love this store. I think Aland is one of the best shopping store in Korea. And yess the main store is in Myeongdong but sometimes it overcroed so, I want to reccomend the store in Hongdae!!! There is not so many people during the day or night and you can enjoy your shopping with the same 4 levels hahaha. ps. I do love the clothing style in Hongdae much more^^ hope you like it too
Hi, I just discover this store while on my trip in Seoul but the thing I want to buy won't fit in my luggage, do you know if they do the shipping abroad?
Thank you :)
They sell cheap shit from dongdaemun expensive. If you want overpriced and lower quality clothing, this is the perfect place. +theyre usually copycats too. Only people go there is teens or younger people whos new to fashion.
