"Ray BEAMS" offers both "seasonal" and "standard" styles

"Ray BEAMS" was born as the first women's label under the "BEAMS" brand.
The concept is "The Way of Chic," which means "chic way of thinking," "chic way of dressing," and "chic way of living”. "The Way of Chic" is the concept behind the brand's lineup of items that are not only in seasonable style, but also in standard style.
