Two Iconic Canadian Brands Collab to Create a Limited-Edition Collection: Roots X KOMBI Winter Accessories For Kids
TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2020 /CNW/ - Winter wear dreams come true with this collaboration between Canadian clothing icons Roots and KOMBI The heritage brands have combined their years of expertise to launch a limited-edition collection of winter accessories for children.
Chief Product Officer of Roots, Karuna Scheinfeld, says, "It's always great to collaborate with another iconic Canadian brand, especially in the year of KOMBI's 60th Anniversary. Enjoying life outdoors is at the core of the Roots brand. In working with KOMBI, experts in the design and manufacturing of kid's outdoor winter accessories, we have expanded our 2020 collection to bring even more great products to Roots Customers."
CEO of KOMBI, Mark Pascal says, "this was such a natural fit for KOMBI, both of us believe in marketing quality winter products and with our 60th Anniversary this year, we wanted to celebrate with another great Canadian brand that is known for its uncompromising commitment to comfort and quality."
The collaborative collection is inspired by classic Canadiana and consists of three styles: "the cute aviator", "the wingard glove", and "the wingard mitt", all available in junior sizes (the aviator also comes in infant sizing). The hats are made from a wool blend with ultra-soft sherpa lining and a non-abrasive velcro closer. The gloves and mittens are waterproof and breathable with a fleece lining and stretch knit cuffs. Prices range from $17 to $30.
The full collection is currently available exclusively in Roots stores and online at Roots.com.
