The Cologne pocket and accessories provider Kapten & Son GmbH is expanding to the United Kingdom.
The brand will open its first shop in the region in the London shopping district of Seven Dials in Covent Garden on August 16, 2025. The opening reflects an “important milestone” in the international expansion of the brand and takes place after successful business openings in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf ,, Cape Town, Hamburg, Vienna and Amsterdam. The location in London “is the next step to get in touch with a growing global community of urban adventurers: in the inside,” said the company.
In addition to its products, the new business will offer a number of interactive experiences, including a packing table for testing articles, a size control station for hand luggage and a ‘Magic Mirror’, which enables it to see what a product looks like from behind.
The commitment to the British market is further underpinned by the founding of Kapten & Son UK Limited, at which Johannes Theobald, co -founder and CEO of the brand, has been a director since March 2025.
The Expansion of Kapten & Son is headed by Theobald together with the CFO Phil Pezu. There was support for this through an investment by Ardian Growth in 2021, the first external financing since its foundation. The brand is already represented by 300 retail partners: inside and in more than 50 countries.
