Fashion licensing agency InGroup Licensing today announced it has been named exclusive licensing agent for Kersh, the prominent Canadian fashion label focused on the young contemporary women’s market. In its new role, InGroup will work to bring the Kersh’s international reputation for natural, chic and sexy sportswear to a wide range of young women’s products, from footwear and jewelry to outerwear, intimates, accessories and more.


Kersh offers a collection that includes dresses, skirts, slacks, cardigans, sweaters, jackets, blouses and accessories. The company describes its brand as pairing “a natural ambience with a look that is laid back, easy to wear, feminine and quintessentially Canadian.”

“Kersh is the embodiment of today’s young woman. Its products reflect the casual flair and earthy, authentic, yet chic look to which modern women aspire,” said Judi Seidman, President, InGroup Licensing. “These brand values, as well as the highly-regarded Kersh name, will translate well into literally thousands of products throughout the lifestyle and fashion industries.”


“InGroup Licensing has the credibility, professionalism and business contacts necessary to land licensing deals that will significantly raise and leverage our brand awareness,” stated Sandy Dombroski, Sales and Marketing Director for Kersh parent company International Fashions Ltd. 


Kersh, a unit of International Fashions, focuses on quality, styling, texture and color, balancing femininity and wearability. 


Headquartered in Vancouver, Kersh maintains showrooms in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. The manufacturer advertises in a wide range of leading lifestyle, health and beauty, and fashion magazines including Vogue, Self, Seventeen and Chatelaine.
