The Cologne bag and accessories provider Kapten & Son GmbH has opened up new territory on its expansion course.
On Friday, the lifestyle brand opened its first store outside of Europe. The company chose the South African metropolis of Cape Town as its location. It now offers its products there in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront Mall.
For the label, which was founded in Münster in 2014, the new opening marks “an important milestone in its international expansion,” according to a statement. In addition to the store in Cape Town, Kapten & Son currently has six stores in Germany and one each in Amsterdam and Vienna.
Co-founder and CEO Johannes Theobald praised the latest expansion step. “I am very pleased to be able to open the first store outside of Europe here in beautiful Cape Town shortly after our 10th brand anniversary and to be able to inspire both tourists and locals for Kapten & Son from now on,” he explained in a statement.
