Printemps, created in 1865, is a leading French department store marketplace focused on fashion, luxury, beauty and lifestyle. It gives selected sellers access to a qualified audience looking for premium brands, curated products, strong service and a trusted shopping experience across online and omnichannel retail.
The marketplace is especially relevant for brands and retailers looking to build brand presence, improve profitability and reduce dependency on Amazon in a premium retail environment. Printemps is not a broad generalist channel: catalogue fit, brand positioning, visual quality and product sheet excellence are central to performance.
Through Lengow, sellers can prepare their Printemps catalogue, optimise product sheets, adjust titles, descriptions, visuals and prices, create rules and exclusions, match categories and attributes, track inventory, process orders and centralise marketplace workflows through a Mirakl-based setup.
