Footwear and accessories brand Cole Haan has established its 500th store at the Livat Centre in China’s Beijing, aiming to meet growing consumer demand throughout the world. 

“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,” said Jack Boys, CEO of Cole Haan.

“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.” 

Cole Haan recently opened its first regional office in Dubai, UAE, which joins existing offices and showrooms in New York, Toronto, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. The company has grown its global retail base from 13 to more than 100 countries over the past decade. 

In September, Cole Haan opened its first physical store in London, England, in the form of a shop-in-shop within high-street shoe retailer Sole|Trader.
