~Marking envie's first permanent department store location, the brand's second store in Japan and first in Kansai opens~

ANW Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masashi Shimizu; hereinafter 'ANW'), the company behind the style contact lens brand 'envie (Anvi)', will open 'envie OSAKA,' its first permanent store in the Kansai region, on Thursday, July 9, 2026, on the 3rd floor of the South Building at Daimaru Shinsaibashi.

Since its launch in 2014, 'envie' has been consistently popular among adult women for its natural, beauty-enhancing designs and colors. Following the successful opening of the flagship store 'envie GINZA' in 2025, which attracted not only domestic customers but also many international visitors, ANW received numerous requests for a store in Osaka. Additionally, strong sales performance at existing retail locations in the Osaka area demonstrated high demand for the brand. In response, ANW is launching its first permanent department store location—envie OSAKA—as its second store in Japan and the first in Kansai. Located in the bustling Shinsaibashi district, a major destination for both domestic and international visitors, and within the premium environment of Daimaru department store, the new store will offer more customers the opportunity to experience the brand’s unique world and deliver a new level of brand engagement.

Responding to Customer Demand: Opening Kansai’s First Permanent Store

'envie OSAKA' is the brand’s second permanent store in Japan.

The brand has achieved strong sales through existing retail channels in the Osaka area, reflecting high customer support. Furthermore, the Ginza store received repeated requests from both domestic and international customers expressing a desire for a store in Osaka, which directly contributed to this new opening.

Additionally, Shinsaibashi is one of Kansai’s premier commercial districts, attracting visitors from around the world, making it an ideal location to serve as a hub for showcasing the brand’s appeal.

A Permanent Store Where Customers Can Experience the Brand World

Inside the store, the design and monochrome visuals reflect the brand concept of 'a poetic gaze,' immersing visitors in the envie universe.

The full product lineup will be available, along with a trial experience space where customers can try on lenses and select the perfect color for their eyes.

Exclusive to the Ginza and Osaka stores, an original fragrance inspired by the brand’s aesthetic will also be offered, allowing customers to experience envie’s unique world not only visually but also through scent.

The store also supports the global membership service 'PONPISH PASSPORT,' enabling customers to record lens colors they’ve tried in-store and review their purchase history, helping them consistently choose the ideal lens color over time.
