With My Sands - On our Way to America!
The Duo Behind With My Sands Mathilde Rottembourg, a Parisian with a love for elegance and simplicity, started With My Sands in 2013. Her idea was simple: create leather sandals that you can wear anywhere, that are timeless, and above all, super comfortable. Think natural elegance with a touch of Parisian chic. Carinne Abou-Huguet, a driven entrepreneur and globetrotter, joined the team as a partner. With over 12 years of experience, she brings the know-how to grow the brand internationally and explore new opportunities. Together, they’re a strong team, determined to take With My Sands to a new level, all while staying true to their values of style and comfort. We build more than just a sandals brand: it’s a lifestyle, where every step is a mix of elegance and comfort, ready to follow you wherever you go.
Allocation of funds
Our Goal is Clear: Bringing With My Sands and Our New Collection to the U.S. Our e-shop sales in the U.S. are growing, but to take things further, we need to get the attention of retail professionals on the ground. With the help of an industry agent, we’ve identified two key trade shows to make this happen: • D&A / Designers & Agents in New York • Cotterie in New York Here’s how your support will make a real difference: • With €15,000, we can participate in the prestigious D&A show in New York in September 2025. This amount will cover the registration for a 6 m² booth and our flights. We’ll also be joined by an industry agent to help us maximize our visibility on-site. • With €20,000, in addition to the show registration and travel costs, we’ll be able to boost our marketing efforts: stand decoration, social media promotion… We could even work with a PR agency to increase our exposure in the U.S. • With €25,000 or more, we could not only participate in D&A, but also in Cotterie, also in New York. This would be an amazing opportunity for a young brand like ours to grow and build brand awareness! This amount would allow us to create targeted marketing actions for each show and strengthen our collaboration with our local agent. It would also help fund our agent’s presence at other U.S. trade shows. Since we don’t have a physical store, breaking into the U.S. market is a crucial step for With My Sands. Our business model relies on online sales, wholesale (concept stores, department stores), and marketplaces. Gaining visibility in the U.S. would be a game-changer. Participating in these New York shows is the first step towards a broader expansion into North America. Be Part of the Story: Together, Let’s Build the Future of With My Sands.
