PETER MILLAR PARTNERS WITH HARI MARI ON SANDAL COLLABORATION
Raleigh-based apparel brand Peter Millar has partnered with Texas-based sandal maker Hari Mari on a new collaboration. The Hari Mari x Peter Millar flip-flops will be available in Peter Millar retail stores and online at PeterMillar.com and HariMari.com starting in early May, 2018 and will be available through Peter Millar wholesale partners in fall 2018.
The new flip-flops are constructed from premium USA-made Horween leather and feature neoprene-lined, memory foam-filled toe posts and straps to eliminate break-in periods and provide a customized fit. In addition, they’re also designed with thin, lightweight, soft-squeeze memory foam-filled midsoles for support, mobility and comfort, as well as an exclusive heel cup design and non-marking, boat-safe, carbon-free rubber outsoles.
“When we set out to create the ultimate Peter Millar sandal, we had very specific goals in mind,” said Jason Cater, vice president of design and merchandising at Peter Millar. “We wanted to collaborate with American brands that stand for authenticity, quality, and craftsmanship. This led us to Hari Mari, a premier footwear innovator at the forefront of their craft, as well as Horween Leather Company, one of the finest and most respected tanneries in the world. Further, hen developing this new collaboration we wanted to partner with brands where commonalities existed through creative vision, a passionate design prowess, and most importantly, strong company values. At Peter Millar, we can’t imagine a company more aligned with these core competencies than Hari Mari, and it was a real pleasure and privilege to share this experience with their incredible design team.”
“Constructing a premium flip-flop worthy of the Peter Millar brand is a huge honor for Hari Mari,” added Jeremy Stewart, founder of Hari Mari. “This honor is made even better by the collaborative experience of working side-by-side with Peter Millar’s beyond-talented team on all aspects of the sandal, A to Z!”
