Catalan family accessories business expands into the US market

De La Mur is a family-run accessories business based in Granollers, Catalonia.

David Delaurens and Montse Murciano started making cushions for their home-decoration shops, but after the 2008 economic crisis forced two shops to close, they added bags, washbags and aprons.

Their daughters, Jana and Ivet, joined the business, which they founded as the De La Mur brand in 2015.

The company now employs about 60 people and makes annual sales of five million euros.

Its products are sold mainly through other retailers, and they are now available in 400 US stores, making the United States its second-largest market after Spain.

The company has also expanded sales in European countries including France, Portugal, Italy and the United Kingdom.

It has enlarged its Granollers facilities and aims to keep growing abroad and increase sales.
