Brand Culture

With the unprecedented prosperity of world economy, luxury brands from Europe are blindly pursued by customers. However, counterfeit goods spread all over the market. This results in people’s two extreme consumption patterns.

As a reflection and criticism of this situation, MINISO was born!
