Together, we strive to create stories and product concepts that connect with Karls world and its iconic attributes.
The distribution of womens clothing, handbags, small leather goods and underwear takes place directly from our headquarters in Amsterdam. Mens clothing, footwear, fragrances, glasses and more are created in cooperation with best-in-class licensed partners. We reach our multi-channel consumers, ensuring the integration of online and offline sales. To increase the engagement of our consumers, we are growing with more than 200 KL stores around the world, our premium wholesale partners and a thriving flagship KARL.COM store that reaches 96 countries. Our online sales now account for more than 30% of our total income, based on full-price sales. We are a dynamic, fast-growing company, whose foundations are based on professionalism and strong values. At KARL LAGERFELD, we work to the highest standards of sustainability and integrity in all areas of our business.
