Retulp en de Pelikaan
Alweer mogen wij een hele leuke lokale samenwerking onder de aandacht brengen, namelijk die van Retulp en De Pelikaan Zutphen. De Pelikaan Zutphen is een begrip in de regio. Deze winkel heeft een rijke historie want bestaat al sinds 1816! Begonnen als een zogenaamde zaak in koloniale waren die zelf koffie brandde in de eigen Stoom-Koffiebranderij heeft deze winkel dus een rijke geschiedenis. Vanaf 1920 echt gespecialiseerd in koffie en thee. Inmiddels is de winkel uitgebreid met een gezellige schenkerij en mooie cadeauwinkel. De Pelikaan verkoopt koffie uit diverse landen zoals Costa Rica, Brazilië, Colombia etc. die in de eigen winkel gebrand wordt. Superleuk dat Retulp en De Pelikaan elkaar hebben gevonden!
For the gift store, The Pelican was looking for beautiful sustainable bottles. This quickly brought our Tumbler and Travel Cup into the picture. We always had the Tumbler in black, but the Travel Cup was only available in ivory. The Pelican, however, wanted to be in their house style. This one is black with a gold pelican. So for us the challenge to find a good solution for that.
Of course, we gladly accepted that challenge and managed to get a the Travel Cup produced in beautiful black. On both the black Tumbler and the black Travel Cup the logo of De Pelikaan Zutphen is printed in gold. A precision job because especially the pelican in the logo has many fine lines. But, fair is fair, the result is worth it. De Pelikaan has added two very stylish items to its assortment. And thanks to De Pelikaan we also have a nice addition to our assortment because from now on we can also offer the Travel Cups in black!
Two colleagues personally went to deliver this scoop to the atmospheric gift store in Zutphen. This allowed us to see right away that our bottles and cups certainly don't look out of place among all the other fun items. We also enjoyed seeing how enthusiastic Luc and staff were about the Travel Cups and Tumblers. And as an added bonus, a day later our cups were featured in the NOS News that had filmed an item at De Pelikaan! As far as we are concerned, another very successful collaboration.
