My Comments: This is a company that takes things very seriously – 1st shop planned in February – 8 more next year. Shop in shop systems are being developed at the moment.
Part of the mega successful Bandolera group this collection has become the “hype” in Holland and now in Germany is in huge demand.
Showing for the first time at the last Pure they picked up numerous accounts.
This collection will be picked up fast and will fly!
