New Licenses at Self Esteem

Los Angeles–based manufacturer All Access Apparel signed new licenses this week for its junior apparel brand Self Esteem with New York–based apparel and accessories manufacturer Hyp Inc.

The three-year agreement allows Hyp to manufacture and distribute multiple new Self Esteem categories, including sleepwear, daywear, intimates, hosiery, headwear and cold weather accessories.

The new categories will have Fall and Spring shipments, with emphasis on Holiday delivery. The first shipment will be Back-to- School 2006, said Richard Clareman, president of Self Esteem. Looking to the future, Clareman said Self Esteem hopes to find licensees for denim and swimwear categories. —Erin Barajas
