New York, NY –Concept One Accessories, the New York based accessory firm, has signed an exclusive multi-year license agreement with Fred Segal, LLC to produce fashion accessories, luggage, and handbags with the iconic Fred Segal brand.

“Fred Segal is a unique fashion brand, steeped in Hollywood history with ties to celebrities and entertainment for over 60 years,” says Sam Hafif, CEO of Concept One. “For years, it was my personal favorite spot anytime I traveled through LA, I’d stop in to see their latest curated designer brands, and to pick up a few fun things to wear while in town.  The new flagship location on Sunset Boulevard is a modern-day rendition of the cult classic location that we all remember. We’re so excited about the opportunity to develop a line of fashion accessories and handbags that speak to the Hollywood culture and to bring those products to market.”

The line will launch in Spring 2023 and be carried at Fred Segal stores, as well as on FredSegal.com, and will also be offered for wholesale distribution through better department and specialty stores. Concept One and Fred Segal also plan to collaborate limited drops with some of Concept One’s other license partners.

“Licensing our brand through limited collaborations and fully branded product categories is a key initiative for us as we expand beyond our Southern California roots,” says Jeff Lotman, CEO of Fred Segal & Global Icons. “Concept One’s design capabilities, product quality, distribution network, and passion for Fred Segal made them a natural fit for our program. I am thrilled to have them on board.”

The license agreement was negotiated and will be managed by Global Icons, LLC in Los Angeles, CA.

Despite the brand’s long-running success, its legacy is sustained by always staying ahead. In addition to innovative lines launched in Fred Segal stores, every year Fred Segal collaborates with designers, artists, and emerging brands to create unique capsules, cultural conversations and immersive experiences.
