Different from the starting point of other domestic apparel brands, DOUBLOVE, with its main target of young consumers at the initial stage of its establishment, seems to have an advantage. Therefore, in this round of brand promotion, DOUBLOVE chose to start from the original basis, starting from multiple dimensions such as image, product, promotion and store.

No brand can cover all markets. With the continuous differentiation of interest orientation among consumers, DOUBLOVE is becoming a big game played by Yaying Group.
