It is reported that at first, such brands as Balenciaga, Prada, and Thom Browne will present their brands in the store. They will offer branded hoodies, suits, and other virtual outfits.

Virtual clothes will be much cheaper than the brands' real designer clothes. In the future, the number of brands for the meta-universe is expected to grow. Free clothing options for Meta avatars will still be available.
