A brief history of the promoter

The trademark “Jūratė.eu” was registered almost 18 years ago. The creator from Lithuania went to live in Germany, but she did not want to forget her roots. She also wanted to make Lithuania famous, to present to the world the traditions of this country, aesthetics and quality of Lithuanian products. Mostly the products of “Jūratė.eu” are sold in e-shop. Right now “Jūratė.eu”, which sells Lithuanian designers ‘and foreign brands’ clothing, footwear and accessories, has stores in Vilnius city and Kaunas city shopping centres, but in the summers “Jūratė.eu” also establishes Pop-up shop in Akropolis, Klaipėda. Another 6 Pop-up shops “Jūratė.eu” opens every year with peak sales during the Christmas shopping season in December.
The creator shared, that the idea of Pop-up shops was to become more famous and to introduce clients with their production.
Another idea was to establish Pop up shop, to give the opportunity for their clients to buy their clothes and other production in the traditional way, as they have noticed that some clients like to buy in traditional way. So the founders of “Jūratė.eu” also opened some Pop-up shops. This idea appeared firstly in difficult times, when vacant premises in the Old Town increased, and landlords agreed to rent them temporarily – for a week or a month.

Jūratė.eu brand products are handmade and quite expensive. Their production are based on four cornerstones: the highest quality of raw materials, masterful craftsmanship, modern functionality and unique design.
While the “Jūratė.eu” team follows the fashion world news, the company does not follow “trends” – it creates clothes and items that will remain unique. Also, more and more clothing models are being launched for colder seasons from thicker linen, which successfully protects against the intense wind and cold.
