OUR STORY
FOUNDED TO CLOSE THE GAP
In 2007, the luxury market had a gap that nobody was filling properly. On one side, the world’s most prestigious fashion houses were sitting on excess inventory with no trusted partner to move it. On the other side, retailers around the world were searching for a reliable source of luxury goods at the right price.
Starting with a network of European multi-brand boutiques during one of the most difficult economic periods in recent memory, our founders built the business the hard way — relationship by relationship, deal by deal, season by season.
What began as a trading operation between European boutiques and U.S. off-price retailers grew into something far more substantial: a global platform for luxury distribution, licensing, brand development, and strategic investment.

OUR VALUES
THE ICON DIFFERENCE
We sit at the intersection of brands, retailers, and markets.
Every brand that has worked with us knows that we will not place their product in a channel that compromises their positioning.
Every retailer knows we will deliver what we promised, when we promised it. And every partner knows that when ICON commits, ICON delivers.
That is not a policy. It is 19 years of practice.

WHERE WE OPERATE
GLOBAL REACH, LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Luxury is a global business, but it plays out differently in every market.
With offices and operational facilities across the United States, Europe, Canada, and connections across Korea and the Middle East, our team understands the nuances of each market with the depth that only comes from years of being physically present.
Our global network is a living system of relationships, built over nearly two decades, that we put to work for every partner we take on.
PEOPLE CENTRED ORGANIZATION
MEET THE TEAM
Behind every deal is a relationship. Behind every relationship is a person. Our partners bring decades of direct experience across luxury wholesale, licensing, and global distribution.
