Our take
Carl Friedrik is a minimalist, niche brand within the leather goods/accessories space. They want to turn people’s focus from the ordinary briefcase that they’ve been carrying for too long to consider something better-looking and longer-lasting.
Fashion accessories is a busy market space, so it will be important for Carl Friedrik to maintain its quality as it grows to maintain some edge. However, the company has seen success; most recently its products were featured on a popular business TV programme, cementing its desirability as a brand.
Carl Friedrik continuously invests in the development of new products in order to maintain its position in the market, with a strong focus on quality and minimalism to ensure it stays true to its brand. The company has also recently launched in the US, and plans to expand further.
