Netflix is getting into the retail business.
The streaming giant has unveiled today Netflix.shop, an online storefront where fans will be able to buy a wide array of products -- from apparel to toys to events and games -- inspired by their favorite Netflix series and films.
In a blog post, VP of consumer products Josh Simon said the company would “drop exclusive limited editions of carefully selected high-quality apparel and lifestyle products tied to our shows and brand on a regular basis.”
At launch, the company is introducing streetwear and action figures inspired by two anime series, Eden and Yasuke (pictured above). The company is also releasing limited-edition apparel and decorative items inspired by French spy drama Lupin, in collaboration with the Louvre museum. Netflix says it is working with up-and-coming designers on products, including Nathalie Nguyen, Kristopher Kites, and Jordan Bentley, who created the Eden and Yasuke launches.
