My Comments: Stooker is one of the most successful jeans suppliers in Germany. The product is a combination of jeans with interesting details and basics. Mostly for women - at any one time the company holds 500,000 jeans in stock. They plan to offer a 2 – 4 day repeat delivery service for UK retailers.
Aimed at the more budget conscious end of the market yet offering very good quality value ratio for money.
