Rhenus implements high-volume personalised supply chain solution for retailer Skinnydip

Article

Whimsical accessories, clothing and lifestyle products with motifs of well-known characters from "The Simpsons" and "Spongebob Squarepants", as well as celebrities such as Julia Michaels, Amelia Liana and Zara Martin – that's what the company Skinnydip is known for. The success story of the British lifestyle brand began in 2011 with a mobile phone cover and grew in the following years to 16 standalone stores and over 200 stocklists with specialist retailers worldwide.
