The latest innovative brainwave comes from our very own Paul Ropp and his long-time friend Richard Sauter, a true artist and creative genius and the man behind the ever-impressive Paul Ropp brand image. With a corresponding 'intergalactic' perspective this, their latest inspiration, continues the philosophy of selling to the world without moving that concept is a Shop in a Box!

Shop in a Box is a logical evolution of Ropp's experience in the fashion industry; it is an idea that affords effortless success to his clients and buyers. But what actually is this Shop in a Box?

It is a complete, ready-to go Paul Ropp shop in a forty foot container that can be shipped anywhere in the world and installed in approximately two weeks!
It comprises of modules of compressed Balsa wood sandwiched between plywood and finished with a waterproof epoxy resin, affording the visuals and textures of his signature grey stone look a kind of businessman's Lego or Erectaset - add to that all the railings, display cabinets, changing rooms, office spaces, cabinet lighting, hangers, Paul Rapp logos for both inside and outside the boutique, signs. presentation windows and your complete range of Paul Ropp fashion and accessories, and you almost have an instant business success. No, not franchise - retail satellites!
The Paul Ropp brand has become a kind of intergalactic fashion mothership! This idea allows someone who is interested in retail, but may not have the necessary experience, to join a successful affordable-luxury brand and make a success of it. After all, Paul Ropp fashion is available in 300 shops in over thirteen countries worldwide - from the Caribbean to Europe, U.S.A., even Africa. 'We are the most focused fun and sun fashion product for men and women who want to be sensual not sexual' says Ropp.
So how would one go about joining this universal brotherhood? All one would need is the retail space and a visit to the Paul Ropp website. Pay just USD50,000 for the complete design and outfitting of your shop and order USD50,000 of merchandise. The dream team would then custom design your Paul Ropp boutique right down to the last detail. Four months later a forty-foot container would arrive with a Paul Ropp 'Mr. fix-It' and, with your handpicked team of builders and electricians, you would see your vision become reality in about two weeks.
A couple of years back the Paul Ropp brand took over a boat building facility close their factory in Kerobokan and. working closely with Jerry Cardinelli of the Sundancer ecoproject in South Lombok, they manufactured the prototype for Maui in Hawaii. Next in line were the three stores here in Bali. One in Ubud on the Sayan Ridge, between the Amandari and
The Four Seasons Sayan; next came the three storey edifice at Istana Kuta Galleria and one on our very own Jl. Laksmana, Seminyak. Orders are in for two more 'Shop in a Box' for South Africa, one will be located on the fashionable Cavendish Lane in Johannesburg and then there are three more for Turkey. Soon to join in the craze is Phuket, Thailand and it looks as though Spain wants three!
So, in conclusion, we can say that Paul Ropp has done it again and has improved on his selling to the world without moving. And thankfully his buyers and clients won't have to move much either!
