FJ Benjamin secures Marc Jacobs rights

Singapore fashion and lifestyle group FJ Benjamin has secured exclusive rights to distribute the Marc Jacobs brand.

An agreement with Marc Jacobs International allows FJ Benjamin to open Marc Jacobs stores in
Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

FJ Benjamin plans to open four stores in the next two years carrying the full range of the American designer’s women’s ready-to-wear, shoes, jewellery, bags and accessories.

Starting his own label at the age of 23 in 1986, Jacobs became the youngest designer to win the Perry Ellis Award for New Talent from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

FJ Benjamin Holdings group COO Douglas Benjamin describes Marc Jacobs as one of the most exciting and sought-after fashion brands.

Dating back to 1959, FJ Benjamin Holdings specialises in brand building and management through distribution and retail. With offices in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, it manages more than 20 brands and has 226 stores.
