Au Revoir Cinderella will be installed in the ‘prime’ axis of Bilbao with its new establishment

The shoe company was born twelve years ago at the height of the blogging online as one more. Subsequently, the company migrated to social networks and began selling through Facebook and Instagram before launching its own e-commerce, exclusively selling Jeffrey Campbell’s American footwear in Spain as the sole distributor.

In 2017, the Catalan footwear firm expanded its offer by incorporating its own brand, Au Revoir Cinderella, into its online store. It was not until 2019, when the company made the leap to retail with its first own physical store.

Before the outbreak of the pandemic, Au Revoir Cinderella had eight establishments, but Covid-19 forced the company to close many of them, among which a store in Bilbao was found. Since then, he has only kept two of his stores, in Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and a corner in Andorra. With this new opening, Au Revoir Cinderella once again undertakes its expansion in the national territory.

The capital of Au Revoir Cinderella is in the hands of Laura Méndez and Carlota Brell. The company’s headquarters are located in Barcelona, ​​​​where it has a staff of about seven people. The production of its footwear is concentrated between Alicante and La Rioja.

Au Revoir Cinderella closed the 2021 financial year with a turnover of 1.2 million euros, below the nearly two million euros he obtained in 2019, just before the outbreak of the coronavirus. For this year, the company’s plans are to return to pre-pandemic figures, relying on retail and promoting its own brand with stores.
