OUR TEAM
Fashion is my passion but I am a UFO in this industry !
After graduating from the European Business School (EBS) with a Master's degree in German, I started my career as a German teacher and then as an economic and social researcher. After several professional turns, I was caught up by a family history that was part of the textile and commerce world.
In the 80's, I created with a friend the Paris office of a Dutch shoe importer, "Intermedium", which I developed by adding to our activities a whole range of clothing products & accessories (socks, knitwear, leather goods, etc.).
INTER G2 was created in 1988 with the idea of finding the best partners to meet the ever evolving needs of our customers. Once again, it was a family affair thanks to the duo we formed with my sister, before the arrival of talented collaborators in the team.
I am a passionate person who enjoys traveling, meeting new people and taking on new challenges. Fashion always enchants me with its effervescence and its audacity - which requires curiosity, agility and collaborative work.”
“Graduate of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne, I have acquired over the years a solid expertise in the world of fashion (Men's, Women's, Children's).
During my career, I have worked as a stylist, pattern maker, product manager and buyer for prestigious brands in the Haute Couture, luxury and retail sectors (including Azzaro, Blanc Bleu, Courrèges, Chantal Thomass, and Vanessa Bruno).
After more than 30 years working for fashion brands, I wanted to discover another facet of fashion by joining the Sourcing & Consulting agency INTER G2, of which I had been a client for many years.
​
Thanks to our different experiences, we have been able to build over the years privileged relationships with our customers and our different manufacturing partners.
Today, I am fully fulfilled in a role where I combine creation and business development. My passion for this job has never left me and continues to drive me day after day.
From a young age, I was passionate about the world of fashion and began by studying management, joining the Escola Secundária Alcaides de Faria business school, Barcelos.
I subsequently worked as a sales representative and product manager for luxury and mid-to-high-end brands such as Marine Serre, Missoni and Malìparmi.
My passion for this profession has developed over the years and continues to carry me through every day. Concerned about the environmental impact and respect for social rights, I trained on these subjects at the Technological Institute of Textiles and Clothing (CITEVE). I am therefore monitoring with interest and working to implement the development of new techniques (fibers produced from recycled materials), the use of less polluting materials (dyes based on natural products) as well as the evolution of certifications. (GOTS in particular).

The Origins: A Family Story
Beginning of the 20th century: Rosalie, Martine and Giselle great-grandmother, sells laces and embroideries on the markets before opening a lace shop on rue du Caire.
1920s: Her son-in-law Nathan and his brother Theo founded the "Comptoir des Petits Fabricants" (CPF), a wholesale shoe business located on rue Meslay in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. Manufacturers from Belleville came to the store to hand over their products, which were then sold to retailers.
1945 - 1970: Jean, Nathan's son-in-law and Martine and Giselle's father, joined the rue Meslay enterprise and developed the activity. The CPF became very soon the first importer of shoes from China in France during the Cultural Revolution. He also approached the big supermarkets like Carrefour. After a serious fire, he moved the Parisian branch which became "Paul Paille" on rue Beaubourg and created an office in Garges-lès-Gonesse. The business was sold in 1970.
1980 - 1985: Martine joins her father Jean, as a representative of a Dutch shoe importer in France.
1986: Martine creates a company with a friend (the beginnings of INTER G2).
1988: Martine officially launches INTER G2.
1998: Giselle, who has long held the position of Export Manager for well-known companies (Cacharel, Naf Naf, Groupe Albert), joins her sister Martine to develop the business. Thanks to her commercial creativity, her tenacity, and a keen sense of product, INTER G2 grows and expands its customer portfolio and partner factories by adapting to local conditions and fluctuating international events.
2010: Didier, Martine's husband, joins INTER G2 after a successful career in various prestigious fashion houses - Marithé François Girbaud, Emmanuelle Khanh and Sonia Rykiel. As an International Business Development Consultant, he contributes to simplifying the production processes and expanding the customer portfolio.
2012: Stéphanie, an INTER G2 client for more than 10 years, joined the team. Through her multiple experiences - creation, product development, purchasing and production – she brings the customer vision, necessary for a tailor-made support.
​
Didier left us in 2013 and Giselle in 2018, struck down by illness.
​
Since then, Martine and Stéphanie at the helm, continue to innovate in an ever evolving world.
​
I spoke several languages - for them it was fantastic, they felt like I knew the whole world.

INTER G2 keeps rising to the challenge of increasingly demanding customers. With this in mind, an INTER G2 office was recently opened in the north of Porto in Portugal, to ensure the smooth running of operations.
