Kindy wins licence to make shoes under IKKS brand

18/07/2013
French footwear group Kindy has negotiated a licensing agreement with the Zannier Group to make children’s shoes under the IKKS brand, which is owned by Zannier.

From the autumn-winter 2014-15 season, IKKS shoes for children and teenagers will be made by Kindy subsidiary GBB.

Kindy chairman, Joe¨l Pe´tillon, said on announcing the deal that Kindy wanted to reduce its dependence on sales through hypermarkets and supermarkets. Shoes carrying the IKKS brand will sell through higher-end retail chains, he said.
