The Global Wave of Sustainable Fashion Arrives: WET Creates a New Shopping Experience in Taichung
WET, originating from Southern California, entered the Taiwanese market in 2013. In 2024, it evolved into an ethical product brand, launching WET Ethical Select Shop in Taiwan. Located in the Fuxing Factory 1962 in Taichung, WET is dedicated to blending high-end fashion with sustainable aesthetics. The store features a wide range of ethical products for women, featuring carefully curated selections from fashion, vacation, children’s, and home goods across five continents. The concept of ethical products is now brought to Taiwan, allowing consumers to choose stylish products while making a positive impact on the environment and society.
WET Ethical Select Shop is not just a shopping space, but also a place to practice the concept of conscious consumption. The shop features Fair Trade ethical brands from five continents, including:
- Mumu Bath from the U.S., which uses Alishan materials from Taiwan to create 100% vegan bath products

For the opening, WET invited Mexican installation artist Lua Rivera to create a large woven art installation called “Paradise Land Diorama”. Inspired by coastal natural landscapes, the artwork is made from recycled fabrics and metal weaving. Lua Rivera said, “With this piece, I hope to showcase the cyclical process of nature. I chose to use recycled fabrics and metal to symbolize the new value we give to waste, just as the fashion industry continues to move towards sustainability.”
Singer Kimberley Chen (Chen Fang Yu) is the brand ambassador, sharing, “I’m collaborating with WET Ethical Select Shop because we both believe that society needs more kindness and care. WET Ethical Select Shop focuses on sustainability and especially empowering women. This aligns with my belief that true beauty comes from inner strength and confidence.”
WET sincerely invites all consumers interested in fashion, the environment, and social responsibility to join this journey of sustainable fashion. From now until March 15, 2025, customers who visit the store and fill out the “Text Cloud Declaration” will receive a 50% discount on a brand-exclusive photo booth session.
