Kellwood announced a partnership with Accessory Network Group LLC to produce Sag Harbor® career and casual hats. Under the licensing agreement, Accessory Network will design, produce and market the new headwear line, according to Stephen L. Ruzow, president of Kellwood Womenswear.
The line is set to debut in Fall 2005, and will be available at department and specialty stores nationwide. The collection reflects combined cultures, gender overlap and retro looks. With a strong emphasis on color and embellishments such as brooches, ribbons, beading and jewels, each hat is a unique creation.
“The Sag Harbor name has tremendous brand recognition and consumer loyalty. Sag Harbor Headwear will extend our position as a head-to-toe lifestyle brand, and we are delighted to collaborate with Accessory Network in this new venture,” stated Laura Capponi, vice president Kellwood Licensing.
“We are excited about our partnership with Sag Harbor and Kellwood,” states Abe Chehebar, founder and CEO of Accessory Network Group. “We have received fantastic retail reaction to the Sag Harbor program, and we are confident that we will be able to expand this great brand in the accessories category.”
