In addition, ABG also plans to appoint new license partners for Frye, with an initial focus on securing a footwear partner with the expertise to uphold the brand’s long-term strategy and legacy.

ABG believes that with consumers’ renewed interest in Western culture, Frye’s heritage and enduring products have the ability to translate into a variety of lifestyle categories.

ABG’s goal is to continue to place an emphasis on Frye’s offerings in footwear, small leather goods, accessories, hosiery and outerwear, while expanding into apparel, workwear and home. It also intends to grow the Frye & Co and Frye Supply labels.

Last month, ABG inked a US$220m deal to acquire certain intellectual property and other assets of PVH Corp’s Heritage Brands business.
