MIAMI, Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PERY – Perry Ellis International, Inc. ("PEI") announced today that it has entered into a license agreement with Peers Hardy (UK) Ltd, to introduce a collection of men's watches and jewelry products under the Farah® brand in the United Kingdom and Ireland.  The new collection will focus heavily on jewelry and watch retailers, department stores and online with a planned launch in SS19. 

The Farah® brand is rooted in rich heritage and bolstered by street credibility, leveraging creative ambassadors to drive success. These extraordinary individuals are empowered to become product developers, storytellers and educators inspiring millions of consumers. For fashion-minded hipsters in East London and international artists alike, the name Farah represents a melding of bold style and solid quality that resonates with youth of all walks. Farah products are sold internationally through major retailers and company-owned retail stores, as well as on www.Farah.co.uk.

Perry Ellis International CEO and President Oscar Feldenkreis remarked, "We are happy to team up with Peers Hardy to add fashionable watches and jewelry throughout Europe.  Farah has achieved excellent growth in international markets and is beloved by its consumers as a modern classic."

Peter Ashfield (General Sales Manager) for Peers Hardy stated: "Farah fits perfectly into our growing portfolio of British brands and aligns with our strategy of taking established heritage brands to the global audience. Farah has a great history that is now being re-born for today's young consumer, an area within our gent's portfolio that we were lacking. Product design & creativity are the very lifeblood of our company and I know Farah shares these same values. I am delighted to be working together and excited to see the introduction of Farah timepieces and jewelry later this year."
