Chapters Brand Group has created a recognisable portfolio of retailers and brands
Chapters Brand Group is a UK and European focused brand platform that manages global brand licences across footwear, apparel and accessories.
The group has spent the last several years assembling the infrastructure, the relationships, and the brand portfolio that positions it as one of the most compelling operators in the UK licensing space.
Chapters Brand Group operates the full system from brand rights to retail shelf. Design, sourcing, distribution, and demand generation all sit under one roof, giving the group an agility in bringing the right product to market at the right time that more traditional licensing models cannot match.
The current portfolio spans performance and heritage footwear including, Saucony, Merrell, Norda, CAT Footwear, Rockport, and Original Penguin, alongside FCUK Footwear, and an apparel division that includes The Ragged Priest and Airwalk Clothing.
The group has also extended into accessories through its Chapters Bags division, with partnerships including Cobbmaster, Lego, and Caterpillar Bags giving the group a growing presence in the bags and accessories market.
The group works with retail brands such as JD Sports, ASOS, Zalando, Selfridges, Dover Street Market, TJX, M&S, and Next across the UK and Europe.
“Chapters Brand Group is not a licensing house in the traditional sense. We are a brand operating platform, we manage the full journey from rights to retail, and we do it across categories. The brands we work with get a partner who is invested in their growth, not just their distribution, ” said Anthony Nathan, Managing Director, Chapters Brand Group.
Looking ahead, Chapters Brand Group is preparing to launch ONE13 Shoreditch, a brand-in residence concept that will give global brands a physical platform to enter and build in the UK and European market. The initiative reflects a broader ambition: to be the operating infrastructure that the world’s best brands choose when they are serious about the UK.
With a portfolio that continues to grow across footwear, apparel, and accessories, and a retail network that spans mass market to luxury, Chapters Brand Group is entering a period of expansion that is beginning to define what a modern brand platform looks like in the UK market
