U.S. Polo Assn. signs partnership with Incom group of Montecatini Terme

Montecatini, May 30, 2016 – U.S. Polo Assn., the brand operated under license from the historic Incom group of Montecatini Terme, has signed the partnership agreement with Eastlab, a company active in the production of high quality accessory lines. The agreement, which lasts for five years, is exclusive to Europe and involves the design, production and distribution of the first U.S. Polo Assn. travel collection.
The collection, perfect for business travelers, leisure or for the weekend, consists of 10 lines of luggage for a total of more than 25 models made of technical materials and designed to meet the needs of the modern traveler. The new collection is born from the close working coordination between Eastlab and U.S. Polo Assn design team in order to create a line of suitcases with a functional and contemporary design, in line with the proposals of U.S. Polo Assn. clothing. The result is a tightly integrated collection in the brand’s mood, colors and style.
 “For some time we had been thinking of the creation of a travel line to complete the U.S. Polo Assn .. lifestyle. The meeting with Eastlab,” said Lorenzo Nencini, Incom manager and responsible for the U.S. Polo Assn. Clothing, “opened the way for a fruitful cooperation that has enabled us to produce a collection perfectly in line with the spirit of our brand. We are very happy with the end result, and we hope that the market can accept it with the same enthusiasm.“
The new collection will debut in June on the occasion of the 90th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo, and will be distributed in Europe in department stores specialized in the travel world, duty free and a selection of clothing stores.
