British brand Cambridge Satchel Company has appointed a new CEO following the departure of founder Julie Deane, writes ILM.
Deane exited after the company was acquired by French textile firm Chargeurs earlier in the year, for an undisclosed sum.
Carine de Koenigswarter will take over as CEO of the company, and is currently CEO of The Swaine Group, which is also owned by Chargeurs.
She said: “It’s an honour to take the baton from Julie Deane and move The Cambridge Satchel Company forward to its next stage.
“The success of the brand is proof that British craftsmanship, style and authenticity have a strong impact worldwide.”
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
