Eggie (brand)
Eggie was a California-based brand of clothing created in August 2017 by Korean-American YouTube personality Jenn Im. Im partnered with global fashion company [1] to design and produce the clothing line. The primary designer who oversees the collection is Angela Yea of INSTACO. On July 23, 2021, Im announced on her socials that after 3 years and 18 collections, Eggie would be closing its door as she begins to focus on her next chapter in life as a new mother.[2]
Background[]
The name of the brand, "Eggie", is the Korean word for "baby", and the line pays homage to and draws inspiration from Im's Korean heritage. Im released her first Eggie collection in August 2017, and her second Eggie collection in November 2017. Each collection is released in a limited run every six weeks or so, and the first Eggie collection sold out within minutes of its launch online.[3] Im considers the brand an "extension of her own closet",[4] and describes it as "fluid, fun and quirky".[5] The clothing line is meant to include gender neutral pieces as well as versatile pieces that can be worn in a variety of different ways. Im showcases the versatility of her pieces frequently in her YouTube channel. Unlike previous collaborations with ColourPop and Mejuri, Eggie is Im's first independent foray into clothing.[6]
Eggie has garnered positive attention from bloggers and the fashion industry and noted for its affordability.[7][8][5]
