HQ Function

The headquarters historically managed all aspects of the mail-order and now e-commerce business, including product selection, marketing, catalogue/website creation, customer service, and coordination of logistics.

Notable Features:

Historically, the site was part of a larger complex built to handle extensive mail-order logistics. Modern operations are streamlined for e-commerce.

Work Culture:

Likely a blend of its heritage with a modern, agile e-commerce environment, focusing on digital marketing, customer experience, and fast fashion cycles. Post-acquisition by Shopinvest and then Carrefour, the culture would also reflect the parent companies' strategies and values.

HQ Significance:

The location signifies 3 Suisses' deep roots in French retail history and its evolution from a traditional mail-order house to a modern digital brand.

Values Reflected in HQ: Adaptability (from mail-order to e-commerce), customer focus, and a commitment to its French heritage combined with modern retail practices.

Location:

Historically, 3 Suisses had a presence in several European countries (e.g., Belgium). Currently, its primary focus is the French market. While it ships to some nearby European countries, its main operational and marketing efforts are concentrated in France. Global functions are primarily e-commerce sales and international shipping to select destinations.
