Media and Communications Industry Manufacturing Industry Retail Industry Textile and Apparel Industry Transportation and Logistics IndustryVan de Velde’s attention is focused on building strong complementary brands (PrimaDonna, Marie Jo, Sarda). This complementarity ensures that we are able to offer women the very best in terms of fit, figure-fixing and fashion in the luxury lingerie segment.
In order to achieve this we’ve created the Lingerie Styling concept. Our aim in this international programme is to join forces with certified specialty lingerie shops to provide the best possible service to each and every consumer. To that end, we have developed intensive training modules that not only teach participants how to correctly determine a woman’s size, but also how to create the best customer experience and provide expert advice on cuts, colours and personal styling.
We work closely with 4,000 specialty lingerie stores worldwide, as well as running our own retail chain founded on the principles of Lingerie Styling.
We have to be a sufficiently important partner for the specialist retailer on every market we trade on. Our geographical centre of gravity is Europe and North America.
Van de Velde started over a 100 years ago as a passionate family business, which you can still sense very strongly in our culture to this day. We put our people first, support each other and together we make sure our organization keeps growing every day. We are passionate, authentic, focused on quality and very people-minded. We strive to offer the best possible service to our consumers and customers.
We value an open feedback- and learning culture. We are fully committed to develop a culture of trust, where employees feel comfortable asking for and giving feedback in order to grow together. This open communication ensures that together we continue to improve as an organization and achieve the best results.
