Footwear brand Skechers has signed a deal with French Craft leather Goods Co. to launch a line of leather accessories—including buckles, belts, wallets, coin purses—for adults and children. The collection is set to arrive in stores next month. Skechers also announced intentions to expand its licensing to produce apparel, sunglasses, legwear, medical scrubs, backpacks and bags.
