J.Crew and Lane Crawford to Bring Retail Outside North America

American fashion retailer J.Crew and Asia designer specialty store Lane Crawford announce an exciting partnership that will make the label’s clothing available to the Asia-Pacific market starting October 2012. This initial partnership between the two entities will debut the J.Crew Fall/Winter 2012 women’s ready-to-wear and shoes, men’s apparel and accessory collections at the Lane Crawford ifc mall in Hong Kong, and the Seasons Place store in Beijing, as well as on lanecrawford.com. This move seems only natural as U.S. clothing retailers look increasingly toward Asian markets for growth, following Macy’s‘ announcement last month that it would be selling items from its private brand collection directly to shoppers in China through a new online retailer.
