Katchin isn’t wasting any time when it comes to expansion. The UK-based online marketplace for jewellery and watches is expanding into Germany and France this month, having launched the business just four months ago. Plans also include launching in North America in 2024. 

Claiming “an entirely new way to shop for accessories”, Katchin curates products from its global brand list with editorial content and how-to style guides on a dedicated marketplace. Since its inception, the platform has attracted major brands including Roberto Cavalli, Sif Jakobs, Diesel and Issey Miyake, and now offers close to 80 brands to consumers across the UK.  

The latest move into Europe “cements Katchin’s status as the global destination for jewellery and watch shopping,” it said, as the brand targets a slice of the roughly €13 billion Europeans spend in the jewellery and watch categories in a sector predicted to grow between 5% and 7% over the next year.  

“Capitalising on the success of our first market launch, I’m excited to formally announce our expansion into Germany and France. With this launch, accessory fans across all three countries can rely on Katchin to help them find the accessories that speak to them - no matter their style,” said Shelly Gardner, General Manager.  

The brand was  created with support from category leader and backing partner Fossil Group and enterprise marketplace technology company Mirakl.
