Greek Australian cosmetician Napoleon Perdis, is set to end the exclusive deal his brand Napoleon has with David Jones, and begin stocking his range in rival department store Myer.

“We’re David Jones’ No 1 (cosmetic) colour brand and No 6 total business brand, so we have a phenomenal volume with David Jones, but department stores represent only about 7.5 per cent of my total volume for the business of $130 million,” Perdis told The Australian.

“The Myer distribution may give more volume, but David Jones still has a phenomenal amount of growth — our floor sales were up 7 per cent for the season ended January 31.”

Mr Perdis added that he wasn’t phased if David Jones downgraded the marketing on his products if he were to distribute them at Myer, stating “when you’re hot and the customer wants you, the department stores will always market you”.
