Company Presentation
The White Space Company is a Paris-area distributor positioning itself as a 'curator of a beauty ecosystem' bringing together a selective portfolio of hair, face, body and lifestyle brands, a network of high-end professional experts and a community of discerning consumers. Founded in September 2019 and based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, the company operates as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with a share capital of €200,000, registered under NAF code 4645Z (wholesale of perfumery and beauty products).
The company is best known as the exclusive French distributor of ORIBE Hair Care, and has built a wider portfolio of internationally recognised prestige brands across haircare, skincare, body care and lifestyle. TWSC operates a dual channel — a professional B2B platform for salons and stylists, and a curated direct-to-consumer e-commerce site — complemented by an active programme of masterclasses and brand activations including sessions with international stylists such as Wendy Iles and Paul Edmonds, and pop-ups such as the ORIBE space at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann.
