Footwear brand Sperry Top-Sider will expand its product range as it moves to become a comprehensive lifestyle company. Handbags, belts, hosiery, swimwear, scarves, and gloves will all become part of the Sperry Top-Sider collection thanks to the company’s five new license agreements.
Sperry Top-Sider president Craig Reingold says his firm looks to meet the demands of his customers, who’ve often requested more of the brand’s products. Just like the label’s famous casual shoes, these new items will target women and men who are passionate about the sea and their active lifestyle. Sperry Top-Sider plans to work closely with its new partners, which include Manhattan Beachwear and Tandy Brands, to ensure the resulting products fit in with the label’s vision.
The range of new lines sounds impressive, but it seems Sperry Top-Sider isn’t resting on its laurels. It’s currently negotiating further deals which should help it add eyewear and watches, amongst other essential items, to its rapidly expanding collection.
The new Sperry Top-Sider products are still in the development stage though, so we’ll be waiting some time for their release. Look for the items in Sperry Top-Sider outlets, premium department stores and specialty retailers in North America in the spring of 2013.
