WHITE MOUNTAIN AND CLIFFS TO INTRODUCE OUTERWEAR FOR WOMEN'S, MEN'S AND KIDS

NEW YORK, June 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WHITE MOUNTAIN AND CLIFFS, the footwear brands dedicated to offering classic styles with a focus on comfort at an accessible price point, today announced they have signed a new licensing agreement for the distribution of rain, lightweight and heavyweight outerwear for women's, men's and kids. White Mountain and Cliffs have partnered with Mirage Fashion Group, a privately held global outerwear company specializing in designing and producing the latest styles in outerwear for all genders and sizes.

The new line of outerwear includes raincoats, puffer jackets, vests, and ski pants for the entire family, ensuring quality, warmth and protection at an accessible price point. Each piece has been thoughtfully designed to withstand all types of weather conditions without sacrificing style and comfort. The first outerwear collections are scheduled to be launched in Fall 2023 and will be initially available at Kohls.com, Burlington, Sierra Trading, TJX, and all outdoor retailers with expanded distribution in 2024. As part of this expansion, the brand will be introducing a range of 3-in-1 jackets and ski jackets for both men and women, with a full-curated assortment for all genders planned for Fall 2024.

This partnership with Mirage Fashion Group comes on the heels of White Mountain's recent news about expansion into new product categories beyond women's footwear. The brand has partnered with Iconic Footwear and Legwear Concepts to offer slippers and hanging flip-flops for men, women and kids as well as socks, legwear and hosiery beginning Fall 2023. This expansion into new product categories allows the brand to tap into new audiences while maintaining its commitment to superior quality and accessibility.

"Expanding into the outerwear category marks an exciting and pivotal milestone for White Mountain and Cliffs," said Alen Mamrout, CEO of American Exchange Group. "This strategic partnership with Mirage Fashion Group allows us to tap into their expertise in designing and producing stylish outerwear for all genders and sizes to provide high quality, affordable products to an entirely new range of consumers.
