In Vertical l’Accessoire’s quest for internationalization, we do not miss an opportunity to visit our neighbors in order to develop new points of sale. And yes, we strongly believe that you will soon be able to find your favorite suspenders all over Europe and we are working hard for it;).
So we left France on Thursday evening and arrived a little later in Brussels. A good night's rest after this big week and here we go, here we are walking the streets of Brussels in search of shops that would share the Vertical l'Accessoire universe.
Optimization obliges since we only have one day on the spot, we rent a "Villo", equivalent to the Parisian Vélib and we put directly in seal. Our samples of suspenders in the bag, we visit the various shops placed on our route.
We receive a rather friendly welcome from Belgian buyers who are pleasantly surprised by our visit. We present some live samples, our best sellers! Our French blue white red suspenders as well as our Aixoises and Lyonnaises wide suspender models are unanimously popular. French manufacturing is a definite advantage in the face of buyers who confirm that Belgian consumers are sensitive to the origin of the product they buy.
We kill two birds with one stone and take the opportunity to discover this beautiful city! We go through the city center and in particular the Grand Place.
A nice prospecting job was therefore carried out in Brussels. Unfortunately, no partner has yet been found, but we intend to keep in touch with all buyers and hope to announce our partnership with a Brussels store very soon !
