Our Story
New Flag founders, Niki Epstein and Daniel Haffa, have a longstanding friendship, which is why mutual trust is the foundation of all New Flag activities. The first brand was welcome into the New Flag portfolio by chance: Niki Epstein's girlfriend at the time, came back from her hair appointment in London with a Tangle Teezer in hand and the two founders immediately recognized great potential. Without any business track record, they managed to convince Tangle Teezer to become their exlusive distributor in Germany, and soon after they grew to be their largest distribution partner.
The second brand to be welcome into the portfolio became an own brand: invisibobble. Sophie Trelles-Tvede used an old telephone cable as a hair tie for a bad taste party and detected that the cable didn't leave a trace and it was also very comfortable to wear. Together with Felix Haffa, she founded invisibobble, which later was integrated into the New Flag portfolio. Till this day, it remains New Flag’s largest own brand. Meanwhile, New Flag's portfolio includes over 60 extraordinary brands composed of own and distribution brands. In 2016, Felix Haffa joined the management team and Sophie Trelles-Tvede followed suit in 2020.
