Our Story
New Flag founders, Niklas 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 actually founded by chance: Niklas Epstein's girlfriend at the time, came back from her hair appointement in London with a Tangle Teezer and the two founders immediately recognized great potential. Without any business track record, there was a sales deal and New Flag became the biggest Tangle Teezer distributor worldwide.
The second brand of the New Flag portfolio was again founded by chance. Sophie Trelles-Tvede used an old telephone cable as a hairtie 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 further developed this idea. This came to be New Flag's first own brand, invisibobble, which has had and is still having huge success. Meanwhile, New Flag's portfolio includes 18 extraordinary brands composed of own brands and distribution brands. In 2016, Felix Haffa joined the management team and Sophie Trelles-Tvede followed suit in 2019.

For a bad-taste party, she decided to tie her hair together with a telephone cable. This is where the idea of the invisibobble was born.

She has been a part of the New Flag management team since 2019.

Daniel Zeller, Head of Professional Sales
I still remember the times when our sales representative went to the hairdressers with a folder and notepad and everything went accordingly to the same rules as previous years. These times are definitely over and I'm proud to be part of this change. New Flag is always up to date and has stirred up the hairdressing industry in recent years! Through digitization, we have noticed what potential the industry has and what is possible. We took advantage of these opportunities to find new ways to reach and satisfy customers.- fmr.

I really like the young and creative environment of New Flag. Everyday is different and it's never boring. As the company is in a growing phase, there is a lot of room for new ideas to improve results. I also really like our own brands, for example Foamie: it's innovative, sustainable and eco-friendly.
Shane Ellis, Graphic Designer
The opportunity to work across many great brands and the ambition for growth are a couple of the reasons why I joined New Flag! I love the variation from project to project, the creative freedom in my design role and I really enjoy collaborating with other talented colleagues. Working together we aim to achieve great things, disrupt the market and I'm super excited to be apart of the team.
