Earlier this year, kiWW® entered an agreement with Bagatelle International to produce outwear, denim and dresses.
“We are delighted to launch our beautiful outerwear collection, which is available only on HSN,” says Kathy. “For decades, we’ve carefully considered our distribution plans, and once we began our collaboration with Bagatelle for outerwear, denim and special occasion dressing, we believe that these exquisite clothes must be talked about, shared and seen. HSN is the premier platform to share the story around this line to the women we serve all over America. Our new outerwear designs are so on trend and yet not trendy. Each item is designed to celebrate the beauty of each woman, without compromising quality. HSN aligns with our demand of inclusivity, and we look forward to bringing our beautiful collections to this wonderful journey, which enriches the lives of the women who love HSN and our brand.”
