NEW YORK, NY- March 2nd, 2020 // Randa Accessories, a global leader in apparel and accessories, is now working with iconic American lifestyle brand and retailer Cole Haan, to design, produce, and distribute a modernized generation of men’s and women’s belts, and men’s wallets and small leather goods.
Randa has developed a collection of lightweight and innovative belts and wallets that coordinate with the functional and fashionable needs of today’s Cole Haan consumer.
