Earlier this year I got a message from Mattis Oppermann, the co-founder of Oppermann London. Oppermann is a Swedish-German brand based in London.

At first the idea that these two firms from totally different price categories and segments would do a trunk show together may sound a bit strange. On the other hand the difference is also the fact that makes it totally reasonable. These brands are both manufacturers of quality footwear. But they do not really compete of the same customers.
