MIXXO is one of the three brands that I always recommend to my friends. I love shopping at MIXXO at any season since arrange of choices is broad. Also, one of the best things is that you can try their clothing, while you can't at underground shopping malls. If you prefer trying the clothes before you make a purchase just like I do, I strongly recommend shopping at the SPA brand, especially at MIXXO!

They also have an extensive collection of women's accessories. You can find pretty flat shoes, high heels, Roman shoes, Boots as well as hats, backpacks, bags, and even underwear. MIXXO can meet all of your expectations. Many Korean girls buy their office clothes and bags here.

WHO.A.U（후아유）

The last not least Korean SPA brand to be introduced is WHO.A.U. Many Koreans are already familiar with this brand because of its cute orange-shaped logo. In addition to clothing, WHO.A.U also sells an extensive collection of shoes and other accessories too.

Unlike other SPA brands, WHO.A.U. hires western models. The concept of this brand is "capturing the Californian Dream," and thus the style expresses the laid-back life of a Californian surfer. Although I am not a big fan of the vintage-style photos and fashion coordination, this concept works great for WHO.A.U. They purposefully make worn and washed-out clothes for vintage-lovers.

Today, I have listed five different Koreans' favorite SPA brands! Besides these stores, you can also buy fashionable items from the underground shopping malls, college shopping districts and small boutiques in Korea. Compared to other types of shopping venues, the Korean SPA Brands are relatively cheaper and do occasional promotions and discount events throughout the year! Plus it is much easier for foreign visitors to get a tax refund.
