Based in Segusino (TV), in the North-East of Italy, Ape & Partners is a family controlled business, aiming at providing the most demanding and sophisticated customers with exceptional and original products. Throughout the years the company developed many licensing relationships with different brands, focusing on children's wear. Ape & Partners Basic Beliefs:

Quality of the products
Durability of the products
Long-term relationships with suppliers, distributors and producers
Continuous research for innovation and improvement in terms of materials, style and fit
Quality of the distribution network

In 2005, Ape & Partners started producing and distributing a new brand, Parajumpers, in Segusino of North Eastern Italy.

The basic belief behind the Parajumpers brand is quality and durability. Inspired by Alaskas 210th Elite Rescue Squad, the various designs effortlessly fuse chic with functionality that can withstand even the worst of natures elements.

The coats are expertly designed by Massimo Rossetti, an outerwear apparel designer and importer for the Italian market of American brands. This extremely innovative outerwear collection is designed to be functional with highly technical components.

The Parajumpers coats are expertly designed with discreet pockets that hold anything the modern woman needs to carry, such as a blackberry, iPod or wallet, without adding bulk to the overall aesthetic. Additionally, all decorative patches are completely removable.
