Both the companies announced that they have entered into a “long-term” licensee agreement to develop what will be value brand, which they plan to subsequently expand globally.
“For years, we have been impressed with the quality of brands, managed and developed by Cherokee Global Brands and are now excited to partner with them on this key initiative,” Mr. Akhilesh Prasad, CEO at Reliance Trends said.
The Nasdaq-listed Cherokee owns various fashion and lifestyle brands including Cherokee, Tony Hawk and Liz Lange.
