Designers with Anna Sui’s Tokyo operation - Anna Sui Cosmetics - decided to localize the glamourous funky American brand through continuously adding items to its cosmetics, beauty accessories and jewelry line. The latest example of this is the newly released, 'Summer Holiday Collection,' which includes hair combs, hair treatment oils, body lotions, and soaps.
Teamed with professional cosmetics and personal care companies such as Kanebo, Anna Sui also has its own shampoo and hair conditioner line, which is sold in Japan. The princess-style comb, just as other Anna Sui hair combs, is well-designed and looks adorable, though the price tag -1800 yen, (US $18.50) is a bit pricey. Take a look at the new line of Anna Sui Japan products above.
