Instagram launched its new @shop account on Thursday, the platform’s new dedicated space for small business promotion and sales.

The account aims to feature “emerging brands” in the beauty, fashion and home industries and also features Instagram’s product tags on every post.

Currently, the account features content from US brands like Mented Cosmetics and Feel jeans.
Instagram has not mentioned how it goes about curating small business for @shop, or how the account will cater to consumers in different parts of the world.
