PEI Teams for Original Penguin Bags

Perry Ellis International has entered into a new license agreement with Kiona for a wide range of bags and accessories under the Original Penguin brand in Mexico.

The line will include men's and women's bags, messenger bags, tech carriers, camping bags, small leather goods, sports bags, travel bags, utility bags, backpacks, key chains and cosmetic bags.

“Our relationship with Kiona continues to flourish as we develop new brand opportunities beyond our current Perry Ellis agreement," says Oscar Feldenkreis, president and chief operating officer, PEI. "We have had great success with Original Penguin in Mexico and believe this is a natural product extension to license Original Penguin bags and accessories."

The collection will launch spring 2015 in major department stores in Liverpool and OPG retail stores in Mexico.

"I look forward to the opportunities this new arrangement brings to expand our businesses in this important growth market," says Antonio Fernandez, president, Kiona. "It is an honor to incorporate Original Penguin into our portfolio, targeting the fashion savvy Hispanic consumer."
