Apparel retailer Total Luxury Group Inc announced that they have signed a licensing agreement to relaunch the Huk-A-Poo line of Junior and Young Men's clothing.
The Huk-A-Poo label was originally launched in this country by Michael and Dan Stone in the 1970s. With sales in the late 70s and early 80s reaching upwards of $300 million, the Huk-A-Poo brand became synonymous with dynamic geometric, floral and art deco prints that were used on slinky polyester knits that were cut and sewn to perfectly fit in men's and women's clothes.
The Huk-A-Poo line of clothing will be sold through select department stores and retail chains.
In addition, Michael Stone has joined the company as a consultant to direct the sales and marketing efforts of the Huk-A-Poo apparel line. He is one of the preeminent specialists in the American apparel industry. He brings 45 years of experience in marketing and international manufacturing. He has long established relationships with nearly every major retailer in North America.
Sandy Masselli, Chairman and CEO of Total Luxury Group, said, "The consummation of this deal is a major milestone for the company. The Huk-A-Poo brand and style at one time had a very large following. Market trends suggest that now is an opportune time for us to re-introduce this nostalgic brand. We are also extremely pleased to have an industry veteran like Michael Stone to help us manage and grow this line of clothing."
Total LuxuryGroup Inc, which currently holds a distributorship agreement for MCM, AG, has been seeking additional opportunities within the consumer products industry, for acquisition of companies that have a proven management team, and desirable products or services.
In May 2006, Total Luxury Group Inc acquired International Apparel Group Inc, an apparel holding company that through its subsidiary companies manufactures and sells apparel to major retailers and distributors around the world.
