Penningtons makes move to U.S. market

The company recently announced its entrance into the U.S. retail market this month when three American retailers — Macy’s, Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor — will begin carrying styles from the mblm by Tess Holliday line. The collection, which is a partnership between Penningtons and plus-size model Holliday, includes dresses, tops, pants and more, priced from $35. “We are very proud of this collection and what it stands for: individuality, empowerment and femininity. Tess does such a wonderful job of inspiring and encouraging women to be true to themselves,” said Ginette Harnois, vice-president of marketing at Penningtons. To learn more, visit penningtons.com.
