For fans in the UK, Poetic Gem is on board for a range of menswear and underwear; CID UK is developing menswear and Roy Lowe will introduce a collection of socks.
Bolstering the apparel line-up, Spreadshirt and CID Germany are also on board for menswear for the German market.
In addition, in a slate of pan-European deals, Just Funky will launch homeware and kitchenware, while BWI Europe is introducing fashion accessories, jewellery and fashion bags.
The new products will begin rolling out this autumn/winter across independents, specialists, grocers and online.
