Senior buyer/merchandiser

Fondée aux Etats-Unis en 1948 par quatre frères, Haddad Brands est une entreprise familiale privée, qui depuis 70 ans s’est développée depuis New-York, jusqu’à prendre sa dimension internationale actuelle 🌍. Son expérience, ses équipes talentueuses à travers le monde, ainsi que les marques prestigieuses qu’elle représente, ont fait d’elle un des leaders du secteur des vêtements pour enfants dans le monde 🥇.

En 2017, Haddad Brands Europe, est née quant à elle de la rencontre des dirigeants de Haddad Brands US et de quatre entrepreneurs français, spécialistes de vêtements sous licences, connaissant parfaitement le marché européen 👬.

Haddad Brands Europe, founded in 2017, specializes in the distribution of children’s apparel under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Jordan, Polo Ralph Lauren…) across all of Europe.

Operational for the past 7 years, the company has experienced rapid growth and now counts over 500 employees across the continent.

We distribute our products through both wholesale — to major specialized or multi-brand retailers — and retail, via our branded corners in department stores.

In concrete terms, this means that if you’re buying kidswear (ages 0–7 for Nike, 0–16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether in-store, online, in the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, the product in your hands has passed through us — even if you purchased it in an official Nike or Levi’s store!
