Caribee distributor Brand Agility has delivered a net sales increase of 20 per cent this year, while sales to the retail sector have increased by 28 per cent.
The brand performed especially well in the backpack category, with sales increasing significantly in the last quarter.
The ‘back to school’ market played a key role.
Says Jacquie Sandison of Brand Agility: “Five years ago, when we brought Australian brand Caribee to the UK and Ireland, it was relatively unknown.
“Since then we have worked tirelessly to create awareness and build the network of retailer partners we work with.
“These are great trading results for us and I’m optimistic growth will continue into 2013 given the success retailers have had with the brand and exciting new product range available.
“Thanks to everyone who has support Caribee.”
Caribee will be showing its 2013 range at The Schoolwear Show at Cranmore Park from October 14-16.
