Partnerships & Collaborations

At 1848, partnership is not a transaction.

It is a considered alignment of values, standards, and long-term intent.

Rooted in Swiss discipline and cultural heritage, our house collaborates selectively with organisations and institutions that share our respect for craftsmanship, integrity, and measured growth.

We do not pursue visibility for its own sake.

We pursue coherence.

Our Approach

Each collaboration is evaluated through a single lens:

Does it strengthen the brand, the partner, and the experience — without compromise?

We favour relationships that are:

  • Purpose-led rather than opportunistic

  • Discreet rather than loud

  • Enduring rather than seasonal

Scale is never the objective. Relevance is.

Potential Partners

We consider partnerships with a limited number of carefully selected counterparts, including:

  • Curated retailers and private boutiques

  • Alpine resorts, hospitality houses, and destinations of character

  • Cultural, sporting, and institutional bodies

  • Private organisations seeking refined client or member programmes

Every partnership is bespoke. No two arrangements are identical.

Forms of Collaboration

Where alignment exists, collaboration may take various forms, including:

  • Selective retail or representation

  • Limited or exclusive product allocations

  • Institutional or event-based collaborations

  • Client and member programmes

  • Non-commercial brand alignments

Always with clarity, discretion, and mutual respect.

A Deliberate Process

We intentionally limit the number of partnerships we enter into.

Each enquiry is reviewed carefully and without obligation.

Those invited to collaborate do so within a framework defined by:

  • Brand integrity

  • Clear governance

  • Long-term perspective

Enquiries

If you believe there is a thoughtful and credible basis for collaboration, you may submit a brief introduction outlining your organisation and the nature of the proposed alignment.

All enquiries are treated confidentially.

An enquiry does not imply availability, interest, or commitment.

Closing Line

True partnerships are not announced.

They are recognised.
