Authentic Brands Group has announced a partnership with Canadian retailer Aldo Group for bags by Hunter, the British brand known for its iconic Original Wellington boots and acquired by Authentic in mid-2023. The Batra Group and Marc Fisher Footwear were then selected as license partners for Hunter’s footwear in the UK and continental Europe (Batra), and the US.
Aldo will lead the design, production and distribution of Hunter bags and small leather goods for men and women in the US and Canada. Hunter bags will launch at department stores, online and at specialty retailers later this year with the FW24 collection.
“This partnership allows us to tap into the rich heritage of Hunter and translate it into a range of accessories that resonate with consumers seeking quality, style and functionality,” said Authentic Group President Lifestyle, Chief Brand Officer Jarrod Weber.
