Exclusive Brands acquires Wenger licence

23/07/2008


Exclusive Brands has acquired the exclusive worldwide license to the Wenger footwear brand, including all Wenger shoes, socks and hosiery for men, women and children. The inaugural Wenger Footwear line will be formally launched in August during the Outdoor Retailer Tradeshow in Salt Lake City.

Two footwear lines will be produced, The Alps Collection and the Lifestyle/Crossover Collection. These shoes are highly functional, featuring models with soles that harden in cold weather and soften in hot weather for better traction.

Exclusive Brands will be responsible for all aspects of the brand including product design and development, manufacturing, global marketing and distribution for Switzerland-based Wenger SA, maker of the Swiss Army Knife. Founded in 1893, Wenger is now in its fifth generation of family ownership and management.
