Koton, a brand well-known across nearly 30 countries with over 400 stores globally, plans to further solidify its presence in Hungary, Startlap reports. By the end of the year, the company intends to launch several other locations in cities including Sopron, Debrecen, Szeged, and Székesfehérvár. In total, more than 6,000 square meters of retail space will be dedicated to Koton stores across the country, with the KÖKI store being the largest at around 1,000 square meters.

The fashion chain’s pricing is competitive, positioning itself similarly to other fast fashion brands popular in Hungary. For instance, women’s dresses are available online for approximately HUF 13,000 to 23,000 (EUR 32 to 57), with discounted options as low as HUF 2,000 to 3,000 (EUR 5 to 7.5). Men’s clothing, such as jeans and shirts, can be found in the HUF 6,000 to 16,000 (EUR 15 to 40) range. Even winter coats, one of the more expensive items, are priced reasonably, with the most affordable ones around HUF 9,500 (EUR 24), and none exceeding HUF 30,000 (EUR 74).

Koton’s collection doesn’t bring too many surprises in terms of design, offering familiar styles and colours that match the current trends in fast fashion. Most of the products are made in Türkiye, drawing on the brand’s 35 years of experience in the fashion industry.
