History
GXG was launched in 2007 to address a gap in the Chinese menswear market. At the time, department stores predominantly offered either traditional formalwear aimed at older consumers or casual sportswear. GXG positioned itself between these two segments by introducing stylish, contemporary clothing suitable for both work and leisure, a strategy that subsequently became one of the brand’s defining characteristics.3
The brand expanded rapidly through both physical retail outlets and e-commerce channels. In 2010, GXG entered online retail, becoming one of the earliest Chinese fashion brands to pursue an omnichannel strategy aggressively.4
In 2019, its parent company, Mulsanne Group Holding Limited, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the stock code 1817.HK.
