    About The Connection Agency

    The Connection Agency curates a trio of brands that each speak their own language, the refined British craftsmanship of Wax London, the artistic soul and slow-travel spirit of Olow, and the bold Belgian color-play of Castart. Different voices, one shared attitude: contemporary, quality-driven and built for retailers who dare to stand apart.

    Founded by Bob Smolders, who has lived and breathed fashion his entire life, The Connection Agency brings a sharp eye for authenticity and a deep understanding of what moves the industry. Bob introduces brands into the Benelux with intuition, clarity and commercial finesss, connecting them with retailers who value intention over noise.

    We're not here to shout. We're here to place the right stories in the right stores. Honest, modern and tastefully rebellious, just like the brands we represent.

    Strong brands. Sharp vision. Real connections.
