Perry Ellis International, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a license agreement with Chun Yuan International Company granting rights to design and distribute Original Penguin by Munsingwear® fashion bedding and home products in the Philippines. Distribution will include department stores, home specialty shops and E-Commerce sites. A special capsule collection will launch in Spring 2017 with a full collection introduction in the fall.
Original Penguin is an iconic American brand that mixes sportswear and contemporary fashion appealing to a style-savvy consumer who’s into details, but doesn’t take himself too seriously. Original Penguin pays homage to its brand heritage, while staying culturally relevant in their global markets. The brand reworks their archive of mid-century classics to reflect today’s lifestyle without compromising that heritage or the craftsmanship that established the Original Penguin name.
“We are thrilled with this partnership with Chun Yuan International and look forward to working with their team to offer Original Penguin’s lifestyle products in the Philippines. This addition will complement our solid market position and benefit our 25+ free standing stores and continue the expansion of our global reach,” commented George Feldenkreis, Executive Chairman of Perry Ellis International.
Kevin Lee, President of Chun Yuan International stated, “We are excited to partner with Original Penguin, a leading global brand with the well-known Penguin icon that is highly appreciated by the young generation in the Philippines.
