Eugene, how long have you been working with Caprice, what characteristics of shoes and what conditions for partners became decisive when choosing a brand?

The first batch of Caprice brand shoes arrived at our store in Krasnoyarsk in 2007. Buyers almost immediately fell in love with Caprice shoes, they sold excellently, customers always asked when there would be a new arrival, at the end of the season we fixed small balances in the warehouse - all this was a decisive factor in choosing the Caprice brand. Then, the Russian office of the company was opened in Moscow, which is due to the start of direct supply of Caprice shoes to Krasnoyarsk. From this stage of life, a real partnership began between the retail client and the manufacturing company.

How many stores do you currently have in Krasnoyarsk?
