Haddad Brands Europe, founded in 2017, specializes in the distribution of children’s apparel under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Jordan, Polo Ralph Lauren…) across all of Europe.
Operational for the past 7 years, the company has experienced rapid growth and now counts over 500 employees across the continent.
We distribute our products through both wholesale — to major specialized or multi-brand retailers — and retail, via our branded corners in department stores.
In concrete terms, this means that if you’re buying kidswear (ages 0–7 for Nike, 0–16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether in-store, online, in the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, the product in your hands has passed through us — even if you purchased it in an official Nike or Levi’s store!
