New York-based management firm Authentic Brands Group announced on Wednesday a new partnership with Unified Accessories for Izod belts and small leather goods. 

Under the agreement, Unified will be tasked with the design, production and distribution of a new collection of men’s belts, wallets and leather accessories. The collection will merge Izod’s signature American style with Unified’s expertise in crafting high-quality accessories.

“Izod is a celebrated brand with a strong connection to its heritage. We’re excited to continue to grow its lifestyle offerings in partnership with Unified,” said Jean Fei, senior vice president, active and classic brands – lifestyle at Authentic. “Unified’s expertise and commitment to quality perfectly aligns with the brand’s core values. We look forward to working together to bring these products to life.”

The product line is set to launch in Fall 2025 and will be available through multiple retail channels, including department stores, specialty retailers, and online platforms across the United States.

“We are proud to partner with Authentic to bring Izod’s style into the men’s accessories market,” added Scott Weiner, senior vice president of sales at Unified Accessories. “This collection reflects our shared commitment to quality craftsmanship and will connect with consumers seeking both style and function.”

Earlier this year, Authentic announced a new partnership with K9 Wear for the manufacturing and distribution of pet apparel for its Izod brand. Authentic acquired the Izod brand from U.S. fashion giant PVH Corp, in late 2021, along with fellow heritage brands Van Heusen and Arrow.
