Korea's own It-brand eyewear: roughly $100 per pair cheaper than US retail, with first access to new collections.
Price: 330000 KRW (Standard price for core sunglasses lines at Gentle Monster Korea, 2026)
Where to buy: Haus Dosan (Apgujeong) flagship, department stores; avoid relying on Incheon duty free stock

- ₩330,000 is ~$240, and the tax refund claws back another ₩15,000-20,000 — total saving vs US around $100 a pair
- Popular black frames sell out at Incheon duty free; buy in the city and claim the refund at the airport kiosk instead
- It's a domestic brand, so Korea gets new drops and collab lines months before overseas boutiques
