GGA, Specializing in Giving a One-Stop Service for Business Expansion in Asia, Supports Singaporean Women’s Shoe Brand PAZZION in Japanese Expansion – Empowering Working Women from the Ground Up

Global Gateway Advisors Pte. Ltd. is a consultancy firm specializing in overseas expansion primarily across Asia-Pacific countries, is providing comprehensive support for the full-fledged entry of PAZZION, a women’s shoe brand yet to debut in Japan (Headquarters: Singapore, CEO: Tom Ng, hereinafter ‘PAZZION’). Leveraging insights from their 20th-anniversary market research, PAZZION is set to initiate its substantial entry into the Japanese market starting in 2024. 

■ Background

In Singapore, which ranks fourth globally for women’s employment rates, many families with children have both parents working (*). This environment has fostered a demand for versatile fashion that suits both professional and personal settings. PAZZION, a ladies’ shoe brand that originated in Singapore and operates across 10 Asian countries with 50 stores, embraces the concept of “Effortlessly Stylish.”

The brand uses shoe molds based on extensive research into Asian women’s feet, ensuring a comfortable fit using soft, genuine leather materials. This blend of comfort and design has gained popularity among Singaporean women for its wearability from office to leisure.

Having gained attention as a sought-after souvenir among Japanese women visiting Singapore, PAZZION, marking its 20th anniversary, conducted market research to venture into Japan, a key hub for Asian fashion.
