In the same month, the brand opened its first boutique at Times Square in Shanghai, China, and it was sold in over 30 stores in North America and Asia. [7] Seventy Two Changes sales have expanded from $100 million in 2009 to a predicted $400 million in 2010. [8] In the following year, Tsai's contract with Truth & Pride ended, but Tsai had no intention to renew the agreement.
