Terry Fitzgerald, President of Dussault Apparel states, “Our first holiday season in the US marketplace proved to be an extremely positive one for Dussault Apparel.
We increased the number of retailers carrying our product month after month leading up the end of December and will carry on that progress well into 2008 with even more fervor and determination.
The fourth quarter of 2007 proved to be our most positive for sales in company history in regards to orders in our launch country of Canada. We penetrated into new markets in Canada and the US and increased sales within long term retail partners across the board.”
Marcello Leone, Head Buyer for Leone, comments, “ have been the head buyer at Leone, one of Canada’s premier independent retailers, for many years. I have seen many fashion companies come and go over the years.
My company was an early adopter of the Dussault brand and to date it remains one of our top tier lines. Dussault Apparel is a top selling brand for us and has earned the distinction of never having had any of its products reduced in price to date. A statement like that speaks for itself.”
David Goldman, Owner, BOYS' CO, Vancouver, Canada, continues, “As the owner of BOYS’CO, a leader among trendsetting retailers in our market, I am continually keeping my eyes open for the next big thing that can deliver original style to Vancouver men.
When Dussault walked through the door, we fell in lovewith the designs and attention to detail. The product we ordered for the holiday season sold out weeks before we predicted and thus initiated a second, larger order shortly thereafter. We're pumped about having such a promising brand as Dussault Apparel in our line-up of super collections.”
Albert Adell, Buyer/Account Executive, YRB store, New York, comments, “I love the Dussault Apparel line and carrying their product in our store on Broadway in New York.
The product started to move out the door on the first day we had it in the store. I look forward to a long relationship with Dussault Apparel.”
