Cole Haan, the nearly century-old American lifestyle brand, unveiled its 500th store in Beijing. The expansion brings the brand’s performance lifestyle footwear and accessories to new markets globally. Over the past ten years, Cole Haan has steadily broadened its retail reach worldwide. Presently, it spans across more than 100 countries, marking a significant rise from just 13 nations in 2013.
Moreover, the brand operates over 55 regional and country-specific e-commerce platforms worldwide.
“From the early days of our launch of Cole Haan as an independent company following our acquisition of the business (from Nike), we envisioned the opportunity to bring this iconic American brand to a broader global audience. Over the past decade, we have expanded our product assortment, our talent, and our partnership with a network of world-class distribution partners globally. As we reach this important milestone, we are focused on a range of opportunities we have created for the future of Cole Haan,” said Jack Boys, CEO of Cole Haan.
To support its expanding global presence, Cole Haan recently established its inaugural office in Dubai, UAE, complementing its existing offices and showrooms in New York, Toronto, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
“Cole Haan has been a pioneer in the footwear industry from the beginning and our growth over the past 10 years reflects the increasing customer demand for high-quality, fashionable, and innovative footwear,” said Adrian Santos, SVP, international at Cole Haan.
