Perry Ellis Signs Penguin Partner

Perry Ellis has tapped Delta Galil Industries USA to bring its Original Penguin by Munsingwear brand to a new category–men's underwear and sleepwear.

Under the agreement, Delta Galil will develop, produce and distribute Original Penguin men's underwear and loungewear for the U.S. and Canada.

Some of the initial collection will hit stores as early as the holiday season, with the complete collection launching in spring 2014.

"Delta Galil is an industry leader in its category and the perfect partner for bringing the quality and aesthetic of the Original Penguin brand to life through these exciting product extensions," says Oscar Feldenkreis, president and chief operating officer, Perry Ellis. "Known for their strength in design, product and material innovation, we look forward to working with the Delta team as we continue to extend Original Penguin's fashion influence around the globe."
