Hot Kiss Licenses New Categories
Los Angeles–based junior lifestyle brand Hot Kiss has announced the signing of three new licensees that will add kids’ apparel, wallets, luggage and intimates to its offerings.
Launching for Holiday 2006 will be a line of belts, wallets and luggage designed and manufactured by licensee Olivet International of Pomona, Calif., as well as Hot Kiss–brand kids’ apparel by licensee Stargate Apparel of New York. Both lines will be sold in department and specialty stores, as well as Hot Kiss-owned retail stores internationally. Retail price points will range from $12.99 to $29.99 for the accessories and from $25 to $42 for the children’s apparel.
New York–based Levex Trading will design and manufacture a new line of intimates set to launch in Spring 2007. Buyers will get their first glimpse of the line in August during the upcoming Magic Marketplace in Las Vegas. The collection will combine mesh and cotton fabrics with lace, floral prints and stripes for tropical and nautical themes. Retail prices for the bras and panties will range from $8 to $29.99. —Erin Barajas
