Jeanswest is a well-established causal wear brand from Australia that has garnered a significant following among young shoppers. The brand was acquired by Glorious Sun Group in 1990 and made its debut in Mainland China in 1993, quickly becoming a popular choice for casual wear.

Jeanswest has expanded its presence not only through a network of physical stores worldwide but also by launching an e-commerce platform in 2019. This strategic move has allowed the brand to leverage 'Big Data', 'Omni-channel retailing', and an efficient logistics system to enhance the shopping experience for its customers.

As of now, Jeanswest maintains an online presence on major e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, Taobao, VIP.com, WeChat, Jindong, Douyin, Kuaishou, Pinduoduo, and Dangdang. This robust online footprint, combined with the brand's commitment to staying current with e-commerce trends, has helped Jeanswest to amass a substantial fan base.

Jeanswest has surpassed an annual turnover of 4 billion RMB, reflecting the brand's continued growth and success in the casual apparel market. This figure is a testament to the brand's ability to adapt to changing market conditions and consumer preferences, solidifying its position as a leading player in the denim and casual wear industry.
