The company has experienced rapid growth since its inception and already has over 500 employees throughout Europe 🌍.
We distribute our products both in wholesale, working with major specialized or multi-brand retailers, and in retail, through our in-store corners in department stores.
In concrete terms, this means that if you buy children’s apparel (ages 0-7 for Nike and 0-16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether it’s in-store, online, in France, Romania, or any other European country, the product in your hands has passed through our hands 😊even if you bought it in a Nike or Levi’s store!
