Dear Sirs,
In a plan of internacionalization of our company I will write an overview of the Aprile Gioielli Brand so that you can have a slight idea of who we are.
The “Margherita” daisy flower is our symbol that our designers modelled in different ways always to obtain simplicity but also elegance of a shape loved in all the world. So as we were born 50 years ago as a goldsmith company it was obvious that we had to make 18 Kt white and yellow gold collections but nevertheless we have since many years also silver and steel collections. Of course everything has been thought to satisfy all the needs from an elegant woman to a very young teenager. So products as bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces and pendants are all part of our collections. If you want to have a better overview of our products you could go on our website www.aprileorafi.it">www.aprileorafi.it . In the domestic market we are very strong but also at an international level we are in markets like UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Ukraine, Mexico, UAE, Portugal, Singapore , Spain that is our main international market with 600 retail shops and all the Department Stores called El Corte Inglès (the most important of Europe) where we have a corner Aprile in all of the 70 Department Stores. We participate to the major jewel exhibitions (we are always in the three yearly editions of Vicenza Oro, Iberjoya, Birmingham, Okura Hotel Tokyo, IJT Tokyo and we want to go to JCK Las Vegas). And to go further our designers to anticipate the market trends we wanted to do new collections that are not involving the “Margherita” flower that had a lot of success in the last edition of Vicenza Oro and now at the IJT Tokyo.
At the moment we have no distributor in your area so may be a potential co-operation for a mutual benefit could start.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours
Ivan Di Franco
