Local and international brands

Currently, the marketplace already offers brands such as Disney, Lego, L’Oréal Paris, Delonghi, Garner, Braun and more. It also supports local brands and sellers, as well-known Spanish brands such as Munich, Cecotec, Mr. Boho, Pikolin, Hawkers and Silbon, for example, are also featured.

"Spain is one of the European markets with the greatest potential in the ecommerce sector. It has great penetration on the internet and in mobile technology, which means enormous potential for a platform like Miravia". Yann Fotaine, CEO Miravia

Brands that want to sell through Miravia can create and design their own store on the platform. Additionally, they can set promotions, apply loyalty programs and interact with customers. “We want to give space to local and global sellers, we support all big and small brands, with competitive offers and a personalized and entertaining shopping experience”, said Yann Fotaine, general director of Miravia. "We hope to cover all Spanish consumers' needs, while offering local and international brands greater tools to sell and interact with their customers," he stressed.

“Spain is one of the European markets with the greatest potential in the ecommerce sector. It has great penetration on the internet and in mobile technology, which means enormous potential for a platform like Miravia.”

“We chose Spain because it is a country that has 30 million online buyers”, he explained.
