Australian fashion company Brand Collective has confirmed it will not renew the Clarks footwear license in Australia and New Zealand in 2026.
This decision follows a strategic review of Brand Collective’s portfolio of footwear brands, including Julius Marlow, Hush Puppies, Harrison, Volley and Reebok.
In Australia, Clarks sells through a local dedicated website and via a range of stockists including The Iconic, Hype DC, and Myer.
Brand Collective will continue to trade Clarks in distribution channels until June 2026.
“We have been proud to represent Clarks in the Australian and New Zealand market,” Brand Collective CEO David Thomas said.
“As we continue to refine and future-proof our brand portfolio, this decision allows us to focus on growth areas across our broader footwear brands and customer experience that are aligned to our long-term vision.”
Brand Collective is an omnichannel retailer that operates a range of Australian and international apparel, footwear and sports brands, including Reebok, Review, Canada Goose, Shoes and Socks and Hush Puppies.
The latest move comes six months after Brand Collective snapped up the license to run Champion's local distribution.
