Quality European bags, brought to Norway
I find independent European bag makers with real craftsmanship, quality materials and design, and connect them with Norwegian retailers where they fit.
Pernille Berge · NorwayAbout
I look for something different.
European brands want access to the Norwegian market. Norwegian retailers want new pieces their customers haven't seen yet. I connect the two, so both sides get what they're looking for.
I am selective about the brands I take on. I only introduce a brand to a retailer when I genuinely believe it's a good fit, and both sides meet my standard.
My Standard
Every brand I represent is chosen against the same standard.
- 01
Timeless Design
Bags that can be carried for years, not just for one season.
- 02
Quality Materials
The materials, whether leather, canvas or straw, and the hardware and lining. How it feels, ages and holds up.
- 03
Craftsmanship
How a bag is made, from stitching and edges to hardware and lining.
- 04
Made to Last
A bag that keeps its shape and quality through years of daily use.
- 05
Responsible Production
Transparency around materials, tanneries, and the people who make each bag.
- 06
Right for the Market
The bag needs to make sense for the Norwegian customer and the retailer selling it.
For Brands
Could your bags have a place in Norway?
I am always looking for independent European bag makers with real potential in the Norwegian market. Every brand is carefully considered before I decide to take it on.
I do not represent every brand I find. I choose the ones I believe in.
What I do
- Find and introduce the right Norwegian retailers
- Represent your brand in the Norwegian market
- Present your bags and collections in person
- Help you find the right pieces for each retailer
- Build relationships with buyers
- Handle wholesale pricing, margins, MOQ and terms
- Support communication with the retailer
- Follow up on orders and build long term relationships
Commission only. No upfront cost.
I work on commission with the brands I represent. Terms are agreed individually with each brand, usually in an introductory call. You only pay when wholesale business is actually generated, which keeps my focus on finding the right match, not placing as many brands as possible.
Retailers you can trust
I also have a standard for the retailers I work with, not just the brands. Before I introduce your brand to a store, I make sure it's a retailer that pays on time, communicates clearly and takes the relationship seriously. That way you're not just getting a sale, you're getting a retailer worth building a long term relationship with.
For Retailers
New bags. No cost. No risk.
I help independent Norwegian retailers find European bag brands that aren't widely available in Norway yet. I do the research, so you only see brands that actually fit your store and your customer.
How I can help
- Find bags that fit your store and your customer
- Research materials and construction for you
- Select the pieces worth considering
- Introduce you directly to the brand
- Handle communication between you and the brand
- Follow up on your order so a smaller order doesn't mean the back of the queue
This is completely free for you.
I am paid by the brands I represent, not by you. You never pay me anything to discover, evaluate or be introduced to a brand. If nothing fits your store, it has cost you nothing to find out.
Selected for a reason
I don't represent hundreds of brands. I work with the right ones.
I look at how each bag is made, what it's made from, who makes it and where it belongs in the market before I decide to take a brand on. When I introduce a brand to a retailer, it's because I believe it's a real fit, not just a sale.
About Pernille
Behind the selection.
My name is Pernille Berge. I have a background in fashion retail, where I got interested in what actually makes something worth buying: the materials, the construction, the quality, and how a brand fits into a retailer's collection.
There is no team behind this. It's just me, which means every brand I take on has been reviewed personally, and every retailer I work with deals directly with the person doing the work.
