MPD Accessories, a creative source for headwear and scarves.

MPD: Menke, Poelmann and Drontmann. Three family names of three very old family companies (1916, 1924 and 1894) that merged in 1999.

The cooperation of a scarf- and a hat specialist made it possible to meet today’s market demands even better than before. We see an increasing need for a closer collaboration between supplier and retailer, more demands for logistic services and ‘custom made’ deliveries. We see an increasing concentration in the market and also a need to work with specialists only. We develop coordinated ranges with matching scarves and hats. We have a Hong Kong office and a showroom in Shanghai.

Collection, target markets and exclusive designs.
As specialist in designing we know exclusivity is very important in this field in order to rule out competition. We develop a very large range of own styles and designs and we work with a selected number of factories. So we can control the exclusivity of style and design. In co-operation with customers we also develop private labels programs. To meet this general market demand we bring several smaller trend collections during the season. We develop our collection for all fashion levels Avant-garde and Basic. We are a young and trendy company.

Quality / Delivery control.
The most important issue today is to have good quality at the specified delivery date and in accordance with instructed specifications! Our buying offices keep us informed on a daily basis on the current status of the orders and they control the quality of the goods shipped to us and to our customers. We work in accordance with the latest European standards where it concerns the law (no child labor, minimum wages, environmental issues etc.) and also eco friendly production of our goods (AZO and PCP free). Also we control our quality by testing our merchandise on color fastness, flammability, rubbing fastness etc.

Our major added values are the creativity of our styling team and the logistic services we can offer.

Partner in Accessory Zone.
In 2004 MPD launched in close cooperation with two other partners the Accessory Zone concept. Together with Versteegh Byoux (specialized in jewelry) and Robako Ceintures (a belt specialist) we created a new “Cash & Carry” showroom concept: “Accessory Zone”. Today we have showrooms in 7 Fashion Centers in Germany and Austria. Look at http://www.a-zone.eu for more information about this unique partnership.
