2. Meraviglia Who?
Roberto Balestra:
Social media, marketing,
Online, eCom expert
Kristian Hertel:
IT, customization, leather
and shoe production expert
The Meraviglia Project (now Meraviglia Limited), started in Hong Kong in
February 2013 as a one time project to test the market and demonstrate
the feasibility of our innovative and social business idea.
Within 13 months more than 150 customers in HK, China, Taiwan, Japan,
Australia, Korea and Thailand are served.
Meraviglia successfully passed an audit to certify a 100% made in Italy
certification as one of the first fashion brands.
The Italian Chamber of Commerce awarded Meraviglia for the innovative
business concept
3. The MERAVIGLIA project is born with the intention of promoting the outstanding
quality of artisan products which are made by hand and made in the Marche region
in Italy.
The Meraviglia suppliers need to go through a rigid quality control process before
they are allowed to contribute to the MERAVIGLIA collection.
The raw materials need to fulfil highest standards. The production needs to be
executed by hand and with old artisan production techniques.
The finished product needs to be nothing less than perfect to give our customers
the highest satisfaction.

10. 1) You invite us to special events in your country or region. Venue and
customer appointments are prearranged. We fly in the necessary team and
material, build up the booth and execute the measurement taking and
design meetings with the customers. We cover the risks of wrong
measurements.
Depending on your location we need around 5-10 pre arranged
appointments with customers. You get a commission based on turnover.
for up to 15000 Euro turnover, you get 10% commission
for up to 30000 Euro turnover, you get 20% commission
If we achieve over 45000 Euro turnover, you get 40% commission
2) Classic wholesale business. We train you, we provide sample sets
at shared costs. Execution of special events is organized locally
(we will support with concepts and ideas to keep a consistent
brand image worldwide).
You buy from us and resell at your defined prices (we provide recommended
retail prices) You cover the risks for wrong measurements but can still sell
those products through an outlet channel
Normally the first option is chosen in the beginning, we train you up first, you
have no risk and little additional workload. Once you feel safe to try it on your
own we will support you in option 2. Of course you can opt to go back to the
first option any time.
