London brand ISSA will open three new stores in Japan this spring. The first will open on the second floor of the main building at Isetan Shinjuku on February 26th, followed by shop-in-shops on the third floor of the main building at Osaka Takashimaya and the second floor of the main building at Kyoto Takashimaya on March 1st, marking the brand's first Kansai store.

To commemorate the openings, the brand will be releasing the dress worn by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, at her engagement press conference, as well as a popular knit dress, in prints and colors exclusive to each store. Customers who spend over ¥50,000 will receive an original ISSA notebook printed exclusively for Japan, on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition, a pop-up event will be held at Isetan Shinjuku from February 19th to 25th prior to the opening.

The brand opened its first global store at Ginza Mitsukoshi in April 2012. This new store brings the total number of stores in Japan to six. The brand plans to continue aggressively expanding into Asian markets, where growth is expected.
