“Together we have a very balanced partnership. OTL has strong expertise in operations and CRM, good regional synergies with different brands, and having the agility of a start-up, they are quite fast in making decisions based on their experience in other markets. Bluebell Group has the local market expertise, knowledge in leasing and key commercial district, strong operations and connections with brands and local partners alike.

“Bluebell expertise on the market enabled us to find the best location for our OnTheList permanent showroom in Taipei and tap into its group of customers. Working with a leading distributor in Asia like Bluebell is a great privilege for OnTheList and a great opportunity to learn day after day retail best practices. Being a large group, Bluebell’s standards of practice are very high, which is what we aim for at OnTheList as we work with more and more luxury partners”.
Additionally, he added: “Sustainability is part of OnTheList DNA: helping brands to sell excess stocks with total control and to offer the best brands to OnTheList Members looking to access high quality products at the best prices.”
