Luxury golf brand MARK & LONA has released a special interview video featuring KARINA, who is globally popular as a member of aespa and is the brand’s first female brand ambassador, starting on Friday, September 25, 2026, and has begun sequential sales of the worn items from the same day. “2026 Autumn/Winter Ambassador Selection STYLE #2” presents a set-up style born from the inspiration of KARINA’s own words at the event interview when she assumed the ambassador role: “I would like to make a sweatshirt-material set-up.” The visuals this time were shot with an airport travel scene as the setting. It proposes a style that can be worn comfortably without stress in various travel scenes, not only on the way to and from golf scenes, but also during long-distance travel by airplane and movement by car or train. The main item, the hooded parka, uses 100% cotton brushed sweatshirt material with a pleasant feel against the skin and three-dimensional cutting, achieving a soft and comfortable wearing sensation. On the back, the collection’s symbol, the “TRIBAL HEART” rhinestone logo, is boldly placed, shining every time it catches the light. The three-dimensional cutting, the exquisitely slightly shorter length, and the trendy over-fit silhouette with a moderate amount of room in the shoulders, sleeves, and body create a strong presence. The sweatpants made from the same material have the front “TRIBAL HEART” logo embroidery as an accent, and the set-up with the parka completes a sophisticated style. The three-dimensional cutting, with diagonal switching from the waist sides, creates a stylish line, and by tightening the spindle placed at the hem, the silhouette can be adjusted according to the mood of the day and the styling. The crew-neck T-shirt matched as an inner layer provides comfortable wear all day long with the smooth feel of high-quality cotton material. In addition to logo embroidery placed on the front and back, the back lavishly expresses the impressive “TRIBAL HEART” rhinestone logo. With an exquisite balance combining dropped shoulders and a shorter length, it is an item that becomes the main focus of the style whether worn as an inner layer or by itself. The spikeless golf sneakers that color the feet are printed with an impactful graphic combining an iron skull and stars on high-quality grained synthetic leather. The original outsole with a three-stage structure demonstrates strong grip and suppresses lateral wobble during swings, and the built-in waterproof film keeps the wearing feel dry and comfortable even in bad weather. And the caster-equipped stand caddy bag, ideal for travel and expedition movement scenes, is arranged with a dynamic logo on matte-textured synthetic leather. By being equipped with two wheels and a double shoulder belt, it greatly reduces the burden of carrying and self-play, and boasts excellent storage capacity such as a magnetic pocket and a large-capacity zipper pocket. From golf and travel to driving, and even town use and holidays. This is a multi-use collection that fuses functionality seamlessly connecting all scenes with luxury design. MARK & LONA’s refined worldview, where sports and everyday life resonate pleasantly and create a sophisticated moment, is delivered through the latest style worn by KARINA.
