US Firm Seeks Canadian partners for Thomas Pink and The Limited brands

CP Brands Group, the New York owner of Thomas Pink and The Limited, is seeking Canadian licensees and distributors for both brands. CAF is helping connect interested Canadian companies with the brand owner.

The opportunity

• Thomas Pink: men's dress shirts, neckwear, tailored clothing and sportswear. The brand has a master licensee in the U.S. and a partner in Mexico. CP Brands will consider a Canadian licensee, or a distributor that buys from the existing licensees on a cost-plus basis.

• The Limited: women's sportswear and ready-to-wear. CP Brands recently acquired the brand, and its Canadian strategy is open.

• Additional categories: outerwear, footwear, accessories, sleepwear and home. Both full-range companies and single-category specialists are of interest.

Interested companies contact CAF at bkirke@apparel.ca with:

• A contact name, title, email and phone number
