“We have been actively pursuing our objective of growing our licensed costumes sales in Europe,” said Tara Hefter, Disguise’s Executive Vice President and General Manager. “EMEA is a key part of our overall international growth strategy and MorphCostumes is a strong partner who shares our commitment to quality and customer excellence, while providing expertise in fancy dress up and costumes in Europe.” This strategic distribution agreement with MorphCostumes represents a significant milestone in Disguise’s efforts to expand its global footprint. “While we have always been a powerhouse for Halloween in North America, it is our goal to provide costumes globally for incremental dress up occasions like Carnival and World Book Day.”
Gregor Lawson, MorphCostumes Co-Founder, added, “We are delighted to partner with Disguise and gain the opportunity to distribute their world class portfolio of licensed costumes. It is great recognition of the competitive advantage achieved by our complementary strategies to maximize sales across Amazon, our own websites and retail partners.”
Both Disguise and AFG are very excited about this new strategic partnership and the mutual benefits it will bring for both companies. Watch for the expansion of Disguise’s licensed products on Amazon in Europe just in time for Halloween this year.
