Known for over 14 years in the quintessential small town
of Telluride, Colorado, as the one and only "Alpine Lifestyle" boutique: Alpen Schatz, has unbeknownst to most, continued to gain the
attention of national big time names.
Nordstrom,
the luxury North American department
store chain, recently signed a contract with Alpen Schatz to feature its iconic
SwissDog Collars in a "Year of
the Dog" promotion in their Pop-In@Nordstrom campaign, which is launching
on February 16, 2018. Norstrom will be carrying three sizes: a 14" and 17" Small Red or Black Contemporary Collar and a 21" Medium Red or Black Contemporary collar.
The campaign is targeted at select Nordstrom locations
across North America. The featured locations to be carrying Alpen Schatz Swiss Dog Collars are: Downtown Seattle (WA), Bellevue Square (WA), The Grove (Los Angeles, CA),
South Coast Plaza (Costa Mesa, CA), North Park (Dallas, TX), Michigan Ave
(Chicago, IL), Vancourver (B.C.), Toronto (ON), and Nordstrom.com/Pop.
The world's oldest dog collar, made in the heart of the
Swiss Alps, Alpen Schatz collars are handcrafted from Organic Swiss cow
leather and adorned with special Alpine brass or silver medallions which will
never tarnish nor rust (saltwater an exception).
These collars will last the
lifetime+ of the life of one's precious pup, and due to their organic nature, will only
get softer and more luxurious over time.
The regal Alpen Schatz collars have adorned European pups for centuries, to include the
royal canines of European Kings, Queens and Gentry. They are the "crowning
jewel" of anyone's beloved pup who has the privilege of wearing one.
Other well known establishments of note who purchase the Alpen Schatz brand of Swiss Collars and
Cowbells regularly are: AMAZON.COM, the US National Ski & Snowboard
Association, the New York Stock Exchange, the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
Gorsuch (Vail, Beaver Creek and Aspen), Big White Ski Resort, Bernina of
Switzerland, the North Eastern HS Ski Championships, and many more.
In addition to providing corporate entities, Alpen Schatz
sells its Swiss collars and cowbells along with its other fine European brands
(HUNTER and LaCinopelca) to many wholesale accounts around the country. Some of
these include, "To Wag For” (Santa Monica, CA), Tails in the City
(Chicago, IL), Canine Styles (NYC) - and the list goes on.
Alpen Schatz has participated in the famed WestminsterDog Show for over 8 years, being invited repeatedly by the Westminster Dog Club
as the exclusive Vendor of European collars and leashes at the show.
It also
participates annually in the World's largest Pet Tradeshow, the SUPERZOO in Las
Vegas, where it sells to the pet industry. In addition, Alpen Schatz ships it's
fine pet products to a world-wide audience through its well established website:
www.AlpenSchatz.com.
In a nutshell, this Telluride, literally "underground"
institution, (Alpen Schatz is located down a set of steps), serves a much larger audience nationwide (& worldwide)
than most know about!
“We are thrilled to have discovered this niche which has
been crying out for such beautifully handcrafted leather products.
The Swiss
crafted collars, cow bells and leashes maintain popularity in Europe and around
the world, with its long tradition of over 250 years of existence due to the fine
quality and classic beauty of the product.
It is truly exciting to be working with Nordstrom, Amazon
and many others to make our brand available to a much wider audience.”, said
Mary Dawn DeBriae, Founder & Owner of Alpen
Schatz.
