Timberland stages come back with Reliance in India through Ajio platform

Earlier, Timberland had to close its retail stores across India in 2015 due to stiff competition in the local market and conflict with a similar local brand Woodland

New Delhi: Timberland, an American outdoor footwear and apparel brand, is back with Reliance Retail, as it now features on the catalogue of its fashion e-tail platform Ajio.

Earlier, Timberland had to close its retail stores across India in 2015 due to stiff competition in the local market and conflict with a similar local brand Woodland.

The Timberland Company, a subsidiary of US-based VF Corporation, and Woodland, which also has a tree logo, were engaged in litigation over intellectual property, as the two have identical logos and products.

On Monday, in its earnings statement, Reliance Industries said: “Ajio has been strengthening its portfolio through new brand launches like Asos, H&M, Timberland, to name a few”.

Reliance Brands, a step-down unit of Reliance Retail, had a distribution and licensee agreement with Timberland in 2009.

Last month, Reliance Retail announced bringing Swedish fast fashion major H&M’s products on its platform.

Moreover, Reliance Retail also announced to scale up the quick-commerce like other retailers and FMCG companies, which are witnessing fast growth from this hyperlocal delivery format.

“JioMart is scaling up quick commerce pilot by serving customers through own store network,” it said.

Besides, Reliance Retail is further strengthening its position in the F&B portfolio, with the addition of Armani Cafe, based on the finest Italian fine dining concept, in Mumbai’s Jio World Plaza.

“Premium Brands business launched its first Armani Cafe to further strengthen its F&B portfolio,” it said.

Reliance already operates 18 stores of Pret A Manger, the UK-based popular freshly made food and organic coffee chain.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp lea
