Make it Happen
Exceptional founders create exceptional products. We help turn vision into commercially successful brands, bringing structure, opening international doors, and staying alongside founders until it happens. We also help luxury stores worldwide source and discover exceptional new brands.
Every founder we've worked with says the same thing:"You made us believe it could happen. Then you helped make it happen." We don't stop at recommendations. We help founders navigate decisions, overcome challenges, and keep moving forward.
Where brands and retailers find their spark and move forward
Based between London and Brazil, we work with founders worldwide on getting ready to launch or expand internationally, connecting them with the best stores in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the USA and the Caribbean. We work with department stores and boutiques worldwide looking to discover and source exciting new brands from Brazil, providing sourcing, buying and logistics support.
The Studio
“I grew up watching my parents build a factory and a couple of successful brands from nothing. They never stopped believing — and that belief has shaped everything about how I work.”
LEADERSHIP
Claudia Marodim has over 30 years of experience helping fashion, lifestyle and creative founders turn exceptional products into recognised international brands.
Growing up inside stores and factories, and trading throughout her career as both a buyer and a brand representative internationally, she brings together creative instinct, commercial discipline and a deep understanding of what international buyers and markets really need.
She has been part of teams and projects that have placed brands in Net-a-Porter, My-Theresa, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Le Bon Marché, Galeries Lafayette, Bergdorf Goodman, Isetan and other leading department stores and luxury boutiques worldwide.
While heading buying for Go British — launched internationally with the support of the British Embassy and UKTI — she worked with over 100 premium and luxury brands and was featured by Vogue Japan alongside the world’s top buyers.
Clients don’t thank her for strategy documents. They thank her because launches happened, growth happened, expansion happened — and ideas became reality.
TEAM
G.B. Luxury collaborates with a trusted network of senior specialists across strategy, digital, brand and customer experience. This flexible model allows us to bring the right expertise to each project, while maintaining consistent strategic direction and quality throughout.
