FamilyMart Releases “Convenience Wear” Line With Minimalist Apparel, Becomes The Most Convenient Convenience Store Ever

FamilyMart releases “Convenience Wear”


Japanese convenience stores are famous for offering an incredible range of products and services. On 23rd March 2021, FamilyMart reinforced this fact with the nationwide release of its own line of clothing, “Convenience Wear”. Now, getting yourself a new shirt or a pair of socks is more convenient than ever.


Products include casual wear, underwear & accessories

The “Convenience Wear” series features T-shirts, tank tops, briefs, socks, towels, and even eco-bags.

True to its name, the price of the series is also “convenient” for all. Prices range from ¥429 (~USD3.88) for a pair of socks to ¥1089 (~USD9.84) for a cotton T-shirt.

There’s no need to be skeptical about the products’ quality either. The clothing line uses materials such as 100% organic cotton and Paircool, a breathable and silky material made with recycled polyester. This means that the products are not only of good quality, but they’re also sustainable.

The “Convenience Wear” series originally included 68 products. However, some products had to be recalled following public criticism over the problematic usage of “hadairo” (肌色; beige), which directly translates to “skin-coloured” and was labelled as such, on the packaging of beige-coloured products. 

The remaining products are still available for purchase. Check out the full range of products here.

The designer behind the “Convenience Wear” series is Hiromichi Ochiai, the founder of FACETASM. While FACETASM is characterised by its unconventional take on Japanese street fashion, “Convenience Wear” is decidedly normcore and minimalist.
