Tommy Bahama has signed a licensing agreement with Concept One Accessories for a collection of branded handbags, small leather goods and luggage.
Tommy Bahama is a relaxed island lifestyle brand that offers men’s and women’s sportswear, swimwear, accessories, and home furnishings.
The Tommy Bahama lifestyle brand is part of the larger Tommy Bahama Group, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oxford Industries.
“We are proud to have partnered with Concept One Accessories on a line of Tommy Bahama branded handbags and luggage,” said Tommy Bahama VP, Gina Wilcox. “Concept One Accessories has created a collection of handbags and luggage that fit well into the relaxed, well-traveled Tommy Bahama lifestyle.”
The Concept One x Tommy Bahama collection will include a range of bags, leather goods and luggage that feature practical silhouettes with island-inspired design details.
The detailing on the licensed products will include signature Tommy Bahama canvas prints, raffia accents, pineapple-shaped hardware and more.
Concept One intends to release its collection of Tommy Bahama handbags in Summer 2024, followed by the luggage and small leather goods in Fall 2024.
The licensed handbags will be offered in styles such as large shopper totes, double strap flap bags, medium totes, crossbody bucket, double entry crossbody bags, and North/South small totes.
“We are very proud and excited to work with such a venerable and respected brand as Tommy Bahama,” said Concept One Accessories CEO, Sam Hafif. “What began as the iconic island lifestyle brand, has evolved into one of the most aspirational luxury collections of apparel, home, and travel brands of our time.
“We will be developing a handbag collection for Summer 2024 using natural materials and straw with vegan leather trims and launching luggage and travel collections for holiday,” added Hafif. “This is a brand that is timeless, and we plan to build the business with a long-term goal of establishing these as signature categories for the brand.”
