London based trade agency Concrete Concept have taken on the exclusive distribution of Schiesser‘s own and licensed brands in the UK, which include Schiesser and Schiesser Revival, as well as Wolford, Marc O’Polo and P.J. Salvage. The Schiesser Group is an international manufacturer / distributer founded in 1875 in Germany, and is part of the globally operating textile-group Delta Galil Industries Ltd.
According to Andreas Lindemann, CEO of the Schiesser Group, “the collaboration with Concrete Concept enables us to further internationalise the various brands of Schiesser Group. The far-reaching network and the many years of experience of Angela Blundell and Janice Tassell allow us to additionally cement our complementary brands in the United Kingdom.”
Concrete Concept is a subsidiary of Concrete London Brand Consultancy, which was founded in 2017 by Angela Blundell, a former managing director at Wolford, together with Wolford’s former Head of Wholesale for Northern Europe, Janice Tassell. This new partnership will establish Concrete Concept as sole sales agent for the launch of the SS22 and NOS collections, targeting department stores, e-tailers and independents with a clear distribution strategy for each brand. The collections will be showing at Concrete Concept’s central London showrooms from 19th July.
“This represents a hugely exciting development for Concrete Concept as we look to develop a strong and lasting partnership with the Schiesser Group,” says Angela Blundell. “We have strong ties with the lingerie and underwear market and a deep understanding of the brands’ positioning and reputation, and greatly look forward to working with the Group over the coming months and years. Each of the brands has its own individual identity, strong profile and rich heritage, and we will be bringing new energy and strategies to drive some of the biggest names in the underwear sector at such an exciting time for the industry as it moves forward from the challenges of the past 15 months.”
