I like their brand although I haven’t bought any of their merchandise yet. It looks like the “Asian Gap.” 🙂 I hope that brand is not expensive because it looks very high-end.

That’s a very creative line. To be able to get fashionable clothing for the whole family in one store/brand is such a good idea.
