Benvenuti

Italian fashion. Ordered flexibly.

We bring selected Italian fashion brands to fashion stores and boutiques in Austria and Germany – with an ordering system that lets you order only what you really need right now.

Showroom SalzburgAgency Munich

More than 30 years in fashion distribution – several hundred retail partners in Austria and Germany.

Sound familiar?

Ordering months ahead – and hoping it works out.

  • You order a whole season in advance and only find out in store what really sells.
  • Large pre-orders tie up capital and storage space long before the goods are sold.
  • At the end of the season, pieces are left over that only sell at a discount.
  • Your regular customers ask for something new – but the next delivery is months away.

Right now, little can be planned. That is why your store should not carry all the risk.

Our ordering system

Smaller orders. New pieces more often.

Alongside the classic pre-order system, we work with flexible, short-term orders. You order smaller quantities, but more often – exactly when you need the goods.

Order only what you need

Smaller quantities instead of a large pre-order: you decide close to the season and are not left with unsold stock.

Made in Italy, short distances

The collections are made in Italy. Short production routes make fast re-ordering possible.

React quickly to trends

What is in demand right now reaches your store promptly – not next season.

Always something new for your customers

Regular new arrivals give your regular customers a reason to drop by more often – and keep them happier.

A team that thinks ahead

Dynamic, personal cooperation with an experienced family business – in Salzburg and in Munich.

Brand portfolio

Our brands for Austria & Germany

We represent selected Italian fashion brands. We are happy to clarify in person which brand is available in your region and for your store.

Prices and terms are available on request.

Who we work with

Is this right for your store?

A good fit if you …

  • run a fashion store or boutique in Austria or Germany,
  • want to re-order flexibly instead of pre-financing large quantities,
  • want to offer your customers something new on a regular basis,
  • value Italian quality and personal support.

Probably not if you …

  • want to buy individual pieces as a private customer – we supply retailers only,
  • want to buy with no minimum quantity at all – a partnership comes with certain terms, such as a minimum order.

How it works

How we get started together

  1. Initial conversation

    You tell us about your store and your customers, and we introduce our ordering system and the brands – by phone or in the showroom.

  2. We get to know your store

    We look at your store and your brand environment to see which brand is really right for you.

  3. Terms & start

    If it works for both sides, we discuss the terms, such as the minimum order, and start with your first order.

  4. New pieces in store, all the time

    You re-order flexibly, react quickly to trends and are not left with unsold stock.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

On what terms do you work with retailers?

The terms depend on the brand, the region and the scope of the partnership. Certain conditions apply, such as a minimum order. We discuss all details in person in the initial conversation.

What does it cost – are there price lists?

We share prices on request as soon as it is clear which brand is an option for your store. The initial conversation is without obligation.

How does the calculation work for my store?

We are happy to work out together how a brand can be calculated within your range. Thanks to our own stores, we know the retailer's perspective from practice.

How is this different from the classic pre-order system?

Instead of pre-ordering large quantities once a season, you order smaller amounts more often. This ties up less capital, lets you react faster to what sells and keeps new pieces coming into your store.

Do you work with retailers in Austria and Germany?

Yes. Commercial Trading in Salzburg looks after the Austrian market, Agentur Kriechbaum in Munich the German market. We are happy to tell you which brand is available in your region.

Can I see the collections in the showroom?

Of course. Our showroom is in the Brandboxx in Bergheim near Salzburg (1st floor, B13–17). Please book an appointment in advance – we are also there for you in person in Munich.

I am a private customer – can I buy from you?

As a wholesaler, we work exclusively with fashion stores and boutiques. You can find our brands' fashion at our retail partners.
