Expected Role of a Partner:
The company is seeking a specialist retailer that is well established in the traditional costume and heritage association markets in Austria or Switzerland and already distributes clothing and/or footwear from other brands in this segment. The partner should have an established customer network among music and traditional costume associations.
The partner will be responsible for distributing the handcrafted traditional costume and club shoes under a commercial agreement. The German company will manufacture the shoes according to the retailer’s or end customers’ specifications and supply the agreed quantities.
The traditional costume shoes can either be sold under the company’s own brand or, alternatively, manufactured under the partners own brand (white-label). The club shoes are generally intended to be sold under the company’s own brand.
The partner should have experience in handling handcrafted premium products and use quality as a key selling point. Reliability, a down-to-earth approach and a willingness to build a long-term cooperation are expected.
