Lark Bridal Ltd. continues to strengthen its porfolio of world leading brands with the addition of top European bridal house, Amelie GmbH.
Lark Bridal Ltd, led by longstanding industry professionals Ruth and Jason Larkin, have proudly announced the exciting addition of one of Europe’s largest bridal brands, AMELIE GMBH, to their portfolio.
Already distributing some of the largest global industry brands including Maggie Sottero Designs across Mainland Europe and MENA and The Dessy Group across Ireland, UK and Europe, the addition of AMELIE, is an exciting development for the business itself but also for the industry across Ireland and the UK.
Ruth Larkin of Larkin Bridal Ltd.
“For almost 15 years, we have proudly distributed some of the largest, most prestigious brands in the bridal, bridesmaid and formalwear market. The opportunity to add AMELIE GMBH to our portfolio comes at the most exciting time when there is so much change in the industry with regards buying behaviors, consumer influences, price points and stylization across each international territory. This will allow us to create substantial additional employment opportunities at our headquarters in Ireland to support all of our brands, as while we are a product based business, our customer service always remains the most important factor of our customer intimate approach to over 1,000 retailer accounts in 32 countries. Most importantly, the quality of the AMELIE collections, aligned stylization and conservative price-points provide exactly what retailers, and over 70% of brides, across the UK and Irish territories are demanding and searching for. We also understand the pressure on our retail partners and have created with AMELIE a strategy that offers them flexibility across their buying approach to support their cash flow, investment and inventory management.” stated Ruth Larkin, Managing Director of Lark Bridal.
