What is Via Appia Due?
Via Appia Due is a women's fashion line for larger sizes from the German company Via Appia, based in Erlangen. It was developed as a complement to Via Appia's knitwear line and now forms a core part of the group's offer for women in sizes 44 to 54.
History
By 2002 Via Appia Due already accounted for around a quarter of the company's business. That year the company introduced a shop-in-shop concept for the line at the CPD trade fair in Düsseldorf, and leading department stores including KaDeWe in Berlin and Ludwig Beck in Munich were among the first customers to adopt it.
Products and positioning
The line offers complete, stylish wardrobes for curvy women:
- Shirts, tops and knitwear
- Blouses and tunics
- Trousers, skirts and jeans
- Jackets and dresses
It sits alongside frapp, Via Appia's younger and more trend-led plus-size label.
Distribution
Via Appia Due is sold through department stores and fashion retailers, through the Via Appia online shop and through marketplaces such as Zalando and Otto.
Why it matters
Via Appia Due is an early example of a German brand treating plus-size womenswear as a fashion category in its own right, supported by dedicated retail space in major department stores.
