Sears Canada Inc. announced the addition of the Carter's family of baby and children's wear brands to Sears. The launch of the well loved Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh labels will be celebrated starting on Friday, February 15, in the Baby's Room at Sears locations across Canada. The summer collections will feature jungle graphics and stylized animal prints for pint-sized fashionistas.
"We're excited to welcome Carter's and OshKosh to Sears Canada," said Calvin McDonald, President and CEO, Sears Canada. "The thoughtful design details and quality craftsmanship found in each collection make a great addition to our environment in The Baby's Room."
Known for its colourful prints, cute characters and innovative design elements, the Carter's collection will range in size from newborn-24 months for babies and children up to size 7. Famed for its overalls and structured playwear, the OshKosh B'gosh collection will range in size from newborn-24 months for babies and children 2T-5T. The collection will be available at 79 Sears locations across Canada.
"Partnering with Sears Canada to launch our first Canadian in-mall retail effort was a natural fit for us because of the strong family-focus and storied history behind both of our brands," said Kevin Corning, Executive Vice President, International for Carter's. "We are pleased to expand our relationship with Sears into Canada as we make our iconic brands more accessible to consumers outside the United States."
At Sears Toronto Eaton Centre, the launch will be celebrated with a Family Day February 18 event at Sears The Baby's Room. Families can enjoy kid-friendly refreshments and entertainment while they shop for all things kids & baby.
