How to Buy Matin Kim Overseas: Bags, Caps and Prices (2026)
Yes, you can buy Matin Kim from overseas without help. The brand's own website has a USD version that ships to a long list of countries by Korea Post EMS, paid with PayPal, and Musinsa's global store also carries Matin Kim. A purchasing agent is worth it mainly when you want to mix Matin Kim with other Korean stores in one box, or check items before they leave Korea.

What is Matin Kim?
Matin Kim is a Korean fashion brand best known abroad for logo bags, ball caps, hoodies and short outerwear. It started online and now runs stores in Seoul's busiest shopping streets as well as abroad.
It is the flagship brand of Hago Haus, a brand incubator that started in 2018 as an online shopping platform. Money Today reported in December 2025 that Matin Kim's revenue was about ₩150 billion in 2024 and was expected to pass ₩200 billion in 2025.
Why tourists line up for it
Matin Kim runs stores in Seongsu and Myeongdong in Seoul, plus department store shops including the K-fashion zone at Lotte Department Store's main Myeongdong branch. The same Money Today report said over 90% of customers at its Seoul stores are overseas visitors. It also mentioned "Seoul Exclusive" products sold only at the Seoul store.
That tourist demand is why so many people abroad search for the brand after a trip. The good news is that, unlike many Korean labels, Matin Kim sells online to foreign customers directly.
Where Matin Kim has stores outside Korea
The brand has expanded quickly. Reports through 2026 list stores or partners in Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Thailand, and select shops in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. A Tokyo flagship opened in April 2026 in partnership with Musinsa, according to Inside Retail Asia.
Taiwan is a big market. Money Today reported in September 2026 that the brand opened a store in Hsinchu on September 1, its eighth in Taiwan, and that Taiwan revenue from January to August 2026 rose 163% from a year earlier. China and Vietnam store openings were planned for October 2026, and Senegal for the second half of the year.
If you live near one of these stores, try sizes there first.
Can you buy Matin Kim from outside Korea?
Yes, and you have more choices than with most Korean brands. Here they are, from simplest to most flexible.
1. The official USD store
The Korean store's shopping guide says all products can be shipped internationally, and tells overseas customers to switch to the USD version at the top of the site. The English site states that you are shopping with USD currency and opens a "World Shipping" country picker. The picker includes the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Germany, Singapore, the Philippines, the UAE and many more.
The same guide sets the rules for overseas orders:
- Orders ship by Korea Post EMS.
- Foreign cards and foreign currency cannot be used, so payment is through PayPal only.
- You enter your name and address in English, a postal code, an overseas phone number and an email address.
- Exchanges and refunds for overseas shipments are difficult, and the brand asks you to buy carefully.
- The brand says delivery takes about 7 to 10 days from dispatch, depending on the region.
Check the USD price against the won price before you order. For example, the Faded Wax Pants for Men in Black were listed at ₩218,000 on the Korean store and $155.71 on the English store when we checked. Your PayPal or card conversion rate decides which is better for you.
2. Musinsa Global
Matin Kim has an official store page on Musinsa's global site, which advertises global shipping. Musinsa Global is a good option if you also want other Korean brands from the same platform in one order. Our Musinsa guide explains how the Korean and global Musinsa sites differ.
3. Amazon US
Matin Kim officially launched on Amazon on October 20, 2025, with about 60 products including bestselling clothes and bags, according to Korea JoongAng Daily. US shoppers can compare prices there, though the range is smaller than the brand's own store.
4. Korean-only channels through a purchasing agent
The Korean Musinsa app, Korean member coupons and Korean sale events are aimed at shoppers with a Korean account. If an item or deal is only available on the Korean side, a purchasing agent can buy it for you. You may also see the brand on 29CM; check the brand search there, since we could not confirm a current official 29CM shop. See our 29CM guide for how that site works.
| Buy direct (official USD store) | You buy, we ship (package forwarding) | We buy for you (HaulKorea) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account | Overseas sign-up on the USD store | Korean account on the Korean store | None needed |
| Payment | PayPal | Korean card usually needed | PayPal |
| Price basis | USD price set by the brand | Korean won price | Korean won price plus our total |
| International carrier | Korea Post EMS | Forwarder's choice | Our quote, one total |
| Exchanges for overseas orders | Difficult, per the brand | Inside Korea's window only | Inside Korea's window only |
| Photos before shipping | No | Depends on the service | Yes |
| Mix with other Korean stores | No | Yes | Yes |
Our honest advice: if you want one or two Matin Kim items and nothing else, try the official USD store first. It is the brand's own channel. A purchasing agent makes more sense if you are building a haul across several Korean stores, want a Korean-only item or deal, or want inspection photos before the box leaves Korea.
What does Matin Kim sell, and how much does it cost?
The Korean store's menu includes outerwear, bottoms, dresses, accessories, shoes, bags, wallets, hats and caps, underwear, beauty and a men's line. Bags and caps are what most overseas buyers ask about.

| Matin Edge Stud Big Bag | ₩198,000 |
Bags with visible logos are a big part of the brand's appeal. Money Today reported that accessories make up more than half of Matin Kim's sales in Taiwan, with logo bags especially popular.
Caps and beanies
From the hats and caps page, as of October 2026: the Matin Initial Ball Cap is ₩48,000, the Matin Classic Logo Corduroy Brim Ball Cap is ₩58,000, the Logo Fleece Ball Cap is ₩58,000, and the Matin Contrast Brim Check Ball Cap is ₩68,000. Winter beanies run from ₩58,000 for the Boucle Crack Logo Beanie to ₩78,000 for the Matin Hairy Knit Beanie.
Caps are light and small, so they are one of the cheapest Korean fashion items to ship.
Down and padded jackets
From the down and padding page, as of October 2026:
| Jacket | Price (₩, as of October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Mix Quilted Light Down Vest | ₩218,000 |
| Cloud Shell Hoody Padding Jumper | ₩258,000 |

Stock moves fast in autumn, and many colors sell out. Check availability on the product page before you send a link.
Collaborations
Money Today has reported collaborations with Coach and Casetify. Collaboration items usually sell in limited quantities, so check the product page and the release date before ordering.
How does Matin Kim sizing work?
Matin Kim lists a size table on each product page, with measurements of the garment itself. Some items come in letter sizes such as S, M, L and XL, and the brand notes that measurements can be off by 1 to 2 cm depending on how they are taken.
As an example, the Faded Wax Pants for Men come in L and XL. The table lists a waist of 41 and 43, a hip of 56.5 and 58.5, and a total length of 106 and 108. These are flat measurements in centimeters, so double the waist and hip to get the circumference.
A few tips:
- Measure something you own. Lay a similar garment flat and compare it with the size table, not with your usual letter size.
- Expect cropped cuts on women's outerwear. Check the total length, especially on down jumpers.
- Look for the men's line label. Men's items are in a separate menu and use their own sizes.
- Bags and caps: caps often have an adjustable strap, but check the listed head size if one is given.
Our Korean clothing size chart helps you convert Korean letter and number sizes to US, UK and EU sizes.
How to order Matin Kim through HaulKorea, step by step
If you want Korean-store prices, a Korean-only deal, or one box with items from several Korean shops, here is how it works.
- Find the item on matinkim.com (Korean version) or the Korean Musinsa site. Choose the color carefully; each color has its own listing.
- Copy the product link. Note the size and color you want, plus a backup choice in case it sells out.
- Send us the product link. Add any other Korean items you want in the same box.
- See one total before paying. HaulKorea shows the item, Korean delivery and international shipping in one figure. You pay once with PayPal. If the parcel weighs less than estimated, we refund the shipping difference, and there is no second charge.
- We order in Korea. Matin Kim's Korean store ships free to any Korean address, and its guide says delivery takes 2 to 5 days or more.
- Check the inspection photos. When the parcel reaches our warehouse, we send photos before it ships. If something is wrong, it can be raised while the Korean 7-day window is still open.
- Combine and ship. We can pack it with orders from other Korean stores. See how combining orders works.
Returns and exchanges at Matin Kim
The Korean store's rules follow Korea's e-commerce consumer protection law:
- Change of mind: exchanges and returns are accepted if requested within 7 days of receiving the item. If the last day falls on a weekend, it moves to the next weekday.
- Item differs from the listing: request within 7 days of receipt, or within 7 days of finding the problem.
- Fees: because shipping is free, a change-of-mind return or exchange is charged round-trip shipping of ₩6,000, or ₩11,000 for Jeju and remote areas.
- Not accepted: items with signs of wear or smells such as sweat, perfume or air freshener. Loose threads, creases and small measurement differences inside the stated range are not treated as defects.
- Defects found after wearing: only accepted if an official testing body confirms a product defect.
For overseas shipments from the USD store, the guide says exchanges and refunds are difficult. That makes the size table and color choice especially important. Our guide to returns from Korean stores explains how the 7-day rule works across Korean shops.
Will you pay customs or import tax on Matin Kim?
It depends on where you live, the order value and the material.
United States. Duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value parcels has been suspended for all countries since August 29, 2025. Orders from any Korean store, including EMS parcels from the brand, can be charged duty. When HaulKorea ships to the US, duty is not included in the total; the recipient pays any duty and carrier clearance fee to the carrier or postal service on delivery. Our US import duty guide explains the current rules.
Other countries. The recipient pays local VAT, GST and duty on arrival, and the carrier may add a fee. Thresholds differ widely, so check your country before ordering a ₩300,000 jacket. Our country guides, such as shipping from Korea to Canada, cover the details.
What else should you know before ordering?
Prices are in won on the Korean store and in dollars on the English store. They are set separately, so compare both.
Sales are frequent. When we checked, many bags and caps showed 10% off. Korean sale prices change often; check the product page on the day you order.
Sold-out colors may come back. Popular items restock, sometimes as pre-orders. The English store notes that pre-order items may ship sooner than the stated period if stock is available.
Watch for resale and fakes. Popular Matin Kim bags appear on resale apps and secondhand markets. Buy from the official store, Musinsa or official stockists when you can. Our guide on avoiding fake Korean products lists what to check.
If you like Matin Kim, you might also like other Seoul labels sold mainly in Korea, such as Stand Oil for bags or Mardi Mercredi for sweatshirts. Our roundup of Korean fashion websites covers where to find them.
