From Brand to Retail.

We’re an independent sales agency for outdoor, watersports and lifestyle brands across DACH and the Netherlands. We know the shops, connect the people and keep things moving.

Rooted in Outdoor Culture.

We work with brands that feel at home outdoors. Brands with a story, a clear identity and a genuine passion for what they do.

Our focus is on functional, design-driven products across outdoor, watersports and urban lifestyle. From technical gear to everyday essentials, we value products that combine high quality, thoughtful design and a clear purpose.

About us

CÔTE NORD was founded by Freddy and Julia in Hamburg, built on a shared background in outdoor, watersports and lifestyle culture.

From time spent in and around the ocean to working with like-minded brands and retailers, our connection to functional, well-designed products naturally developed into a professional focus on brand development and international sales.

Today, we combine this perspective with experience in building markets and retail networks across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Denmark.

We work closely with selected brands we believe in, supporting their growth through strong retail relationships, local market knowledge and personal commitment.
