Menga maintains a high position in the world sock market by creating a unique combination of high quality traditional handicraft and modern production technologies. 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.
