— About ShopCouture

From a trading firm to a global market gateway

Founded in 2000 in the United States, ShopCouture was created to turn local businesses into global brands — and to prove that international talent deserves to be recognized in the American market, regardless of company size.

— Our values

What we stand on

Four principles that guide every brand we take across the border.

Transparency

Clear processes, real numbers and honest expectations at every stage of the journey.

Applicable Knowledge

Know-how that turns into execution, not theory. We teach exporting and we do it with you.

Valuing International

We believe in the quality of international products and in their rightful place on American shelves.

Long-Term Partnership

We are not a one-off project. We stay with the brand as it grows inside the market.
