Trenčín – City of Fashion as the Cradle of the ANDREA MARTINY Brand
Our story began in 1997, in the picturesque town of Trenčín, long considered the fashion capital of Slovakia. It was here that the vision that remains the foundation of the ANDREA MARTINY brand was born.
The company's founder, Andrea Martiny-Stuchlíková , originally entered the fashion world as a model at fashion events and shows both domestically and abroad. After a few years of modeling, she decided to turn her love for fashion and style into a reality, and bring something new and unique to these parts.
With courage and determination, she founded a brand whose goal was not only to emphasize the individual beauty of every woman, but also to support local production and the fashion tradition of the city of Trenčín.

From the basement to the international stages...
... The first base of the ANDREA MARTINY brand was the basement of the family home she grew up in. It included the first warehouse space as well as a small office ...
Autumn/Winter 2004 Collection
Andrea slowly began to turn her vision into reality. At first, it seemed almost impossible, she had no experience in the industry and no start-up capital needed to establish a successful brand. So she had to figure out a way to overcome the initial obstacles and become visible in the market.
Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection
Andrea cítila, že na slovenskom ale aj európskom odevnom priemysle na prelome milénia chýbajú hlavne kvalitné materiály a látky, ktoré by dopomohli v našich končinách zadefinovať koncept slow-fashion módy. Nikdy totiž nechcela produkovať masové fast-fashion odevy s krátkou životnosťou, práve naopak.
Spring/Summer 2020 Collection
V prvých rokoch od založenia spoločnosti sa teda začala sústrediť hlavne na výtvaranie hodnotných medzinárodných vzťahov v rámci distribútorov kvalitných materiálov, ktoré ďalej ponúkala iným slovenským odevným značkám. Vďaka tomu si vytvorila nielen meno v slovenskom módnom priemysle, ale aj kapitál potrebný na spustenie vlastnej línie módnych kolekcií.
ANDREA MARTINA'S FIRST COLLECTION
The first collection of the ANDREA MARTINY brand was launched in 2001. It was a smaller collection of designer evening and casual dresses, which she presented at that year's local fashion fair - Trenčín Mesto Módy. The collection immediately gained recognition and admiration from the Slovak and international fashion community.
Thanks to this initial success, the company experienced its overall boom and moved its base to new, larger premises, which were able to accommodate the initial team and launch production for two annual collections - Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter.
The concept and design of the ANDREA MARTINY brand models were truly unique in these parts, and within a few years the company reached the forefront of the fashion industry in Slovakia. However, interest in our models was not only local, and by 2006 the company already had a strong network of customers in surrounding countries, as well as its own network of brick-and-mortar stores in five Slovak cities.
Slovak fashion tiger at the European level
Slovakia's entry into the EU in 2008 helped the ANDREA MARTINY brand expand even more into surrounding countries, and this year customers were able to purchase ANDREA MARTINY models in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Portugal, Slovenia and Canada.
The success of the ANDREA MARTINY brand has not gone unnoticed, and the brand has won several prestigious awards for design and innovation in sewing technology. Andrea herself received a prestigious special award in 2009 as part of the “Entrepreneur of the Year” initiative.
At the same time, production capacity expanded due to high demand for ANDREA MATINY models.
In addition to its own factory in Trenčín, the company began to cooperate with other local workshops, and expanded its production to include two smaller mid-season “pronto” collections in the volume of up to 60 models. However, they never abandoned their commitment to slow-fashion, and the collections were produced in smaller volumes to maintain their high quality and uniqueness.

The 1920s and the present...

... Like many other industries, ANDREA MARTINY was affected by events and restrictions within the COVID pandemic, but thanks to their stable position in the market, they managed to withstand these adverse times and continue to progress as a company. This despite the fact that they remained only the last fashion production base in the region and the wider area ...

... In the post-pandemic period, the company further developed cooperation not only in the fashion and corporate sectors, but thanks to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality certificates, it also began to operate in the field of state tenders in the production of clothing for various state agencies, such as prison guards or rescue workers ...

... Currently, the company is focused on expanding its fashion division to other countries in order to bring its unique and high-quality slow fashion collections to an increasing number of women who deserve to feel special.

Stable market position
The second decade of the new millennium was spent at ANDREA MARTINY in the spirit of creating a stable position on the market.
The company continued to develop new business and production partnerships and expand its network of B2B customers. It changed its operating concept and ended the operation of its own network of stores, retaining only its fashion boutique in the city of Trenčín.
Thanks to their long-standing dedication to the quality of materials and their processing, the corporate sector also began to take interest in ANDREA MARTINY's production capacities, and in 2015 the company divided its operations into two main divisions - ANDREA MARTINY women's fashion ready-to-wear and AST Design corporate clothing division.
The company's stable growth continued at the turn of the 20s, when both of its divisions underwent a complete restructuring and innovation of production technologies, also thanks to the successful use of the European Regional Development Fund.
