Olive Young flagship stores in Seoul
Prices are the same in almost every Olive Young, so pick a store for range and convenience, not price. These four big "Town" flagships carry the widest range and are used to tourists. There are hundreds of smaller branches across Seoul if you just need to restock.

Paying and the tax refund
Big branches give the tax refund at the till: show your passport and spend at least ₩15,000 on one receipt. The refund comes off the price there and then. Foreign credit cards are widely accepted. The details, including the limits per receipt and per trip, are in our tax refund guide.
Tips
- Show the Korean name. Taxi drivers and map apps find the Korean address faster. Naver Map and KakaoMap work better than Google Maps in Korea.
- Go on a weekday morning. The flagships are calmest just after opening.
- Bring your list. Our My Seoul Haul list shows what is worth buying here and what is cheaper at home.
- Time it with a sale. See the sale calendar.
