Perry Ellis has entered a new licensing agreement with Pegasus Home Fashions, a North American manufacturer in the bedding sector. 

The new partnership, which will be available across the US and Canada, will introduce a new line of home items under Perry Ellis’ labels, comprising Original Penguin, Laundry by Shelli Segal and Rafaella.

Pegasus Home Fashions will distribute a variety of home furnishings, including bed pillows, mattress pads, mattress toppers, and down replacement comforters. The Original Penguin products will hit the shelves in the fourth quarter of this year and Laundry by Shelli Segal and Rafaella are planning to debut in the spring of next year. 

“We are confident that this portfolio will resonate with consumers who shop the diverse set of retailers to which we currently distribute and will showcase unique product features and benefits to the marketplace,” said Hugh Rovit, CEO of Pegasus Home Fashions. 

According to Perry Ellis, Pegasus Home Fashions’ commitment to quality and creativity is consistent with PEI’s objective of providing “exceptional products” to customers.

Perry Ellis International is currently the owner of brands including John Henry, Manhattan and An Original Penguin by Munsingwear. 

Last year, Perry Ellis International expanded its strategic licensing partnership with ACI International to launch Original Penguin-branded footwear for men and boys in the Fall of this year.
