OUR STORY Once upon a time.after many years of working together for a British based global accessory brand, Daniel & Emily felt it was time to take advantage of the opportunity that existed back home, in the UK, leveraging the global contacts we had made jointly but also in our separate previous careers. Daniel has been Managing Director of a number of successful British apparel, footwear and accessory brands while Emily has been the Head of Global Sales for a large number of accessory brands from USA, Europe and the UK. The Morris Fyfe Agency was formed in January 2017; born not just out of the friendship we have made together but also the relationships we have built Internationally during our respective careers. Our focus, at least initially, will be on designer and travel bags and we are delighted to be able to launch our agency with a commercial combination of globally renowned brands and up and coming designer brand names. Our function is simply to ensure we identify the best brand partners for our market, who engage and invest in the appropriate forms of marketing to ensure best possible sell throughs and therefore create happy partners all round. www.morrisfyfe.co.uk
