From forward-thinking trendsetters to category disruptors and innovative omnichannel leaders, Inside Retail has just revealed its inaugural list of 20 Coolest Retailers in Asia.

Sponsored by Shopify, the list celebrates the most daring, innovative and fresh retailers across a broad range of categories in both e-commerce and bricks-and-mortar, as well as emerging and established brands.

The list was compiled by the Inside Retail team with consultation from industry analyst Tiffany Lung.

“When we created this list, we were looking for retailers who are shaking up their category, have a passionate customer base, have their finger on the pulse and are constantly innovating. Sustainability and a focus on supporting the local industry were also of importance,” explains Jo-Anne Hui-Miller, managing editor at Inside Retail. 

“In an increasingly noisy world, it’s no easy feat to be noticed, whether you’re a physical retailer or a D2C player, particularly since the pandemic hit. So perhaps it’s what makes our inaugural list of Asia’s coolest retailers even more exceptional.”
