Founded in 2017, Haddad Brands Europe specializes in the distribution of children's apparel under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Jordan, Polo Ralph Lauren, and more) across Europe.
After 9 years of operations, the company has experienced rapid growth and now employs more than 500 people throughout Europe.
We distribute our products through both wholesale channels, working with major specialized and multi-brand retailers, and through retail operations, including shop-in-shops within leading department stores.
In practical terms, if you purchase children's apparel (ages 0–7 for Nike and ages 0–16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether in a physical store or online, in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, the product has most likely passed through our hands—even if purchased directly from an official Nike or Levi’s store.
To support our continued growth at our headquarters located in La Plaine Saint-Denis (next to Stade de France), we are looking for a Buying & Planning Intern for an apprenticeship.
