About iimono
Founded in 2025 and based in Los Angeles, iimono is a U.S. retailer and distributor backed by over a decade of industry experience and a growing network of more than 150 retail partners across the United States.
We specialize in discovering and introducing distinctive brands from Japan and across Asia to the U.S. market, with a focus on collectibles, lifestyle, beauty, and thoughtfully designed everyday goods. Through our wholesale network, retail partnerships, and e-commerce channels, we help brands reach new audiences and build meaningful visibility in the U.S.
More than simply distributing products, we believe in building long-term partnerships with the brands we represent. From market development and wholesale distribution to product placement and brand promotion, our goal is to connect exceptional products with the right retailers and consumers.
At the heart of iimono is a simple idea: good things deserve to be discovered. We believe great design, creativity, and quality can make everyday life a little more enjoyable — and we’re here to help bring those discoveries to more people.
About the Founder
With more than 10 years of experience in U.S. distribution, particularly in the Japanese beauty industry, Clyde Tsai has built long-standing relationships with retailers across the country—from independent boutiques and specialty stores to Asian supermarket chains and e-commerce retailers.
Her experience spans sales, business development, product sourcing, and international logistics, giving her a deep understanding of what it takes to introduce Asian brands to the U.S. market and build lasting relationships with American retailers.
iimono grew naturally from that experience, combined with Clyde’s love of travel and discovering products with great design, character, and a story worth sharing. Today, that same curiosity continues to shape iimono’s approach: finding exceptional brands and connecting them with the right retailers and consumers in the U.S.
