Its presence in Singapore has been quiet all these years under the distributorship of Seager Inc, which owns The Wallet Shop and The Planet Traveller. But things have started to shake up this year since a recent takeover by FJ Benjamin — a public-listed retailer and distributor of luxury and lifestyle brands worldwide — which inked a deal in June 2022 to retail and distribute Cole Haan in Singapore and Malaysia. The multi-year partnership covers wholesale and brand site distribution, store expansion, as well as digital sites, which are operating in both countries.
For close to a century, New York-based footwear brand Cole Haan has been quietly but steadily strengthened its street cred from being a men’s-only shoe line to a thriving unisex footwear and leather goods company that operates in 90 countries with close to 400 outlets worldwide.
Its legacy is built on time-honoured craftsmanship and modern innovation to create comfortable lasting footwear that customers can wear from work to workout, to the weekend. Through its Grand 360 Design and Engineering, the goal is to design a revolutionary collection that provides uncompromised fit, feel, flexibility, and cushioning — it will change the way you think about comfort.
