What is Coccodrillo?

Distribution

The brand's backbone is a large network of its own stores in Poland, which numbered more than 240 in early 2021, most of them on high streets rather than in shopping centres. CDRL has increasingly expanded through franchising, opening franchise stores in Poland as well as in Slovakia, Latvia and Italy, and single brand stores in Russia and Kazakhstan. The company has also put growing emphasis on its online store.

Why it matters

Coccodrillo is one of the most widely distributed childrenswear brands in Central and Eastern Europe, and its shift from mall stores towards franchising and e-commerce reflects wider changes in the region's fashion retail.
