TWO BROTHERS, ONE MISSION<br />
MATTIS AND NIKLAS OF OPPERMANN LONDON SHARE THEIR PLANS<br />
FOR WORLD DOMINATION (IN LEATHER GOODS)<br />
By Azhar Ahmad<br />
Tell us about both of your backgrounds. What were you both doing before founding<br />
the company?<br />
We started working on Oppermann when we were still both at university. Niklas studied<br />
business studies and I product design. Our two separate fields of study has been really<br />
useful when starting up beacuse Niklas was focusing on the business side and I on the<br />
products, materials and production. Niklas graduated two years before me and since<br />
2014 we’ve both been working full time on Oppermann. I believe that not coming from a<br />
traditional fashion background has helped us starting a brand with a slightly different<br />
approach<br />
