Lee Cooper to enter the US market

British denim brand Lee Cooper is set to make its debut launch overseas in the US, following the appointment of I Brands

 as the label's distributor.

US holding company Iconix Brand Group, which acquired Lee Cooper last year from Sun Capital Partners, has signed a licensing deal with I Brands, who will manufacture and distribute Lee Cooper’s menswear and womenswear collection to series of department stores and independent stores across the US.

The entry into the US comes not long after Lee Cooper announced the relaunch of its menswear line in Ireland, ahead of the launch of its womenswear collections. The denim label recently signed new licensees in Estonia and Lithuania and boots has over 46 global partners around the world.
