Year 1995
Few people know that Sophie Paris once started out as a home industry, with merely three tailors working in an attic of a house producing beautiful handbags, which ended up attracting people’s attention. As sales grew fast, Mr. Bruno Hasson started torecruit more employees, rented a building, and implemented a system of Direct Selling, which gives incentives to sellers to sell Sophie Martin products. Sophie Martin was subsequently marketed through a Multi Level Marketing system, and recruited members and Business Centers as a partner of the Company, in order to market their products to many places all over Indonesia.
Behind every challenge lies an opportunity. The protracted monetary crisis of 1998 surprisingly gave an opportunity, people who were not in robust financial situations started to turn away from branded purses and bags, because of their steep prices, to Sophie Martin bags, which were more affordable. The 1998 crisis also caused a lot of people to be laid off, so people started trying to find ways to earn extra income. Sophie Martin became the solution for it with its straightforward MLM system.
Ever since, Sophie Paris has become the top MLM company in Indonesia, helping to improve the welfare of people, making everything better again for them, and realizing the dreams of millions.
