Buying & sourcing
When a shopper visits a store and sees a product they love, they don’t realize how many steps had to be taken for it to get there.
Their buying process, very often starts with a little inspiration in a supplier’s showroom or with a visit to fairs where we see a range of manufacturers from different parts of the world. But for a product to arrive in stores, it takes much more.
magenes will help you make sure that you are buying the best product for the best possible price. We will help you arrange and control all the necessary samples (although we will try to help you limit them and their carbon footprint). We will share your orders with your suppliers and very important: we will guide you and your chosen manufacturer through your production requirements – just to make sure everything goes as you planned it.
