Menga was honored with such titles as "Chinese Luxury Good" and "Chinese Representative Brand" in June of 2008 by the China Brand Institute. With a large range of products, they are one of the leading brands in the Chinese sock industry and release roughly 1,000 new products each year.
Background & Key Issues
'MENGNA''s new brand ‘F&L’ Brand Identity & Socks Design
Currently, Menga plans to launch a new brand under the name "F&L," and aims to design socks that can reveal a person's true fashion identity and not just function as socks. Seeing as that Menga's usual customer base is the domestic market, whereas the new brand sought foreign markets, a strategy was needed that reflected that trend of luxury goods abroad.
