Lands’ End Sharpens Its Pencils To Launch The ‘Smart Stop’ For Back To School

On-trend style, outstanding value and best-in-class school uniforms make Lands’ End the one-stop Smart Stop for back-to-school

Being smart isn’t just about getting good grades. It’s also about being savvy. Savvy parents also know that Lands’ End Kids is the one-stop Smart Stop for back-to-school. Lands’ End today announced it has launched its largest assortment of on-trend, back-to-school clothing, uniforms and gear with extended sizes, clever features, better pricing and the return of A+ favorites.

Lands’ End (PRNewsfoto/Lands’ End, Inc.)

“At Lands’ End Kids, we make it easy to be a smart shopper with just about everything kids of all ages and sizes need for back to school. From head to toe, backpacks to lunch boxes, we have styles to suit every taste and durability to satisfy every parent,” says Todd Christiansen, divisional merchandise manager, Lands’ End Kids. “We design our clothing and gear to not only last, wash after wash, playground visit to pick-up soccer game, but we offer the latest trends and styles too. Plus with features such as a virtually indestructible Iron Knee®, mix-and-match options, and tagless tags, we help parents make smart choices that will last from the first day of school and quite possibly into the next school year.“

Lands’ End launches the Smart Stop for Back to School

High Marks for Knit Kit™

Lands’ End designers sharpened their pencils to design this season’s Knit Kit collection for girls at an amazing value. “What’s great about the Knit Kit collection is that with just a few pieces, girls can mix and match solids, patterns and prints within a color story to extend their outfitting options. It’s a smart option for comfort and flexible style so girls can get ready in a minute,” said Liz Pierce, vice president of design, Lands’ End Kids.

Each item is incredibly soft and made to last. The fabric is 95 percent cotton with a touch of spandex to make the colors pop while ensuring the adorable tops, bottoms and dresses bounce back after each wash.

Leggings pair easily with just the right length legging tops. Long-sleeve curved hem knit tees look great with new knit skorts featuring shorts underneath. Legging tops start at $23 and leggings at $14.50. A variety of dress silhouettes including A-line, twirl and fit and flare give girls options to wear them on their own or with leggings. Dresses are priced from $27-$32. Look for two key Knit Kit “stories” – Multi Floral with dark navy and turquoise colors plus Collegiate Hearts with navy, pink and pops of yellow.

Best in Class Backpacks

Simply Genius! Iron Knee® Pants

“Smart back-to-school shoppers know that quality matters. Iron Knee pants have set the bar for quality bottoms that will save parents money with their durability. They’re most likely to be outgrown before they’re outworn,” said Pierce.

Iron Knee pants feature a virtually hidden reinforced knee that can handle what boys and girls dish out. A thin membrane of strong, soft fabric is fused to the inside of the knee and sewn into the side seams for extra staying power. Look for Iron Knee in cargo pants, jeans, cadet pants, a new jogger style and more. For girls, select styles of chino pants feature Iron Knee, making them a solid option for school uniform and dress code schools.

Go-To Graphic Tees Express Smart Style

From cute creatures to science and space themes, girls and boys love Lands’ End graphic tees. These “statement” pieces allow kids to express their personality and are the go-to choice for layering under full-zips such as the cozy sherpa hoodie. This season’s styles feature embellishments such as sequins, metallic, glow-in-the-dark, beads and more. For girls, look for constellation and space themes as well as adorable animals such as a hedgehog, fox, horse and birds, $17.50-$28. For boys, look for dinosaurs, space, animal and conservation themes, $15.50-$27.50.

For a complete and comfortable outfit, graphic tees pair well with new joggers for girls and boys. New French terry joggers for girls are available in heather and printed, with an easy elastic waistband and ankles. Boys who seek comfort will gravitate to pull-on knit cargo joggers. Available in space dye, camo, and classic navy, these boys’ bottoms pair easily with just about any top.

Customers Asked, Lands’ End Answered

“Why mess with perfection?” Lands’ End customers asked and the designers answered. Back this season are girls’ yoga pants and the sherpa hoodie in a classic silhouette starting at $37. Boys also have a new and improved sherpa hoodie with a full sherpa fleece lining, kangaroo pockets and full-zip front, also starting at $37.

Start Off on the “Smart” Foot

Lands’ End has re-envisioned its footwear collection for girls and boys with soft yet durable soles and easy fits at great prices. Many of the styles in girls’ footwear coordinate back to the Knit Kit and graphic tees. New Molly Riding Boots are a comfortable option with a cotton lining and microbial finish to easily throw on with casual cool dresses. For boys, laces are optional with slip on Oxford shoes, Chukka boots, and Trekker shoes.

Lands’ End Takes Spring Outerwear by Storm

As snowstorms turn to rain showers (we hope), Lands’ End continues to prove its expertise in designing high-quality spring outerwear with substance. Lands’ End announced it is launching a new collection of spring outerwear for women, offering versatile options for the wide range of spring weather and lifestyle needs.

Lands’ End takes spring rainwear by storm.

“At Lands’ End, we pride ourselves on providing our customers outerwear for any weather condition they may find themselves in while ensuring we have an option for a variety of personal styles,” said Martin Cooper, Senior Vice President And Creative Director Of Design at Lands’ End. “The spring collection combines essential outerwear features, such as breathable waterproof fabric, taped seams, and placket covered zippers, with popular trend details in silhouettes women will love.“

Here are some of the spring trends found in the new Lands’ End spring outerwear collection:

Classic Khaki with a Modern Twist
The Harbor Trench Coat is a go-to piece that takes the trench trend and makes it a spring staple. Worn with a pair of jeans or a classic dress, this chic trench is perfect for business wear, formal occasion, and light rain. The single-breasted style features princess seams, a back-button yoke and removable belt in a water repellent fabric.

Standout Sporty Staple
The popular winter Squall® is now a standout this spring and with good reason. It is a solid combination of water and wind resistance, smart design and sporty style. The new Women’s Lightweight Squall features a waterproof and wind-resistant nylon shell that can be cinched at the waist for a flattering shape, sealed seams, and a removable hood that is available in on-trend colors such as yellow dandelion and rich red.

Brighten Up Dreary Days with Shades of Yellow
Yellow is the key color for spring outerwear this season. Saturated yellows in coats and jackets will brighten up any dreary day. For all around versatility and style, the StormRaker Jacket cannot be beat. Flap pockets keep items safe while an inner-cinched drawcord can lend shape and keep away breezy drafts. Look for the StormRaker in yellow dandelion, as well as four other colors.

Lightweight and Packable
If travel is on the agenda or Mother Nature is being indecisive, the Women’s Travel PrimaLoft Jacket is highly compatible and makes an easy extra layer of warmth with its 80-gram PrimaLoft® insulation. This jacket easily folds up into the included drawstring bag, allowing for easy packing.

Cooper recommends keeping fit and function top of mind when shopping for the perfect spring jacket. Interior cinched waist details and following the product size chart helps flatter figures without leaving room for wind and rain to sneak in. Lifestyle and local weather are key to ensuring spring outerwear meets functionality needs.

Lands’ End Receives Green Masters Award For The 7th Consecutive Year From The Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council

Lands’ End Recognized for Implementing and Improving Sustainability Practices

For the seventh year, Lands’ End has been awarded the Green Masters Award, the highest honor in the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council’s Green Masters Program. The Green Masters Program is run by the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council, with the support of students at UW-Madison.

“Lands’ End has consistently demonstrated a growing commitment to environmentally focused business practices,” said Tom Eggert, executive director, Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council. “Their sustainability program has grown to include innovative recycling programs including fiber recycling, reducing the use of natural resources, replenishing resources through their partnership with the National Forest Foundation and much more. Their work has been an example for and inspiration to other Wisconsin institutions.“

The Green Masters Program is an objective, points-based recognition program that enables Wisconsin institutions of all sizes and from any sector to join a group of like-minded companies that are on the road to sustainability. Developed by the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin, the Green Masters Program recognizes Wisconsin’s sustainability leaders and encourages continuous improvement. The Green Masters Award criteria are based on actions in nine key sustainability areas: energy, carbon and other emissions, water, waste and materials management, transportation, supply chain, community and educational outreach, workforce and governance.

Lands’ End has been participating in the Green Masters Program since 2009 and is one of only two companies in the state to earn Green Masters status seven straight years.

Lands’ Friendly, #IAmLandsFriendly

Sustainability partnerships, ENERGY STAR certified buildings, working toward becoming a zero landfill company, Earth-friendly vendor policies – Lands’ End has been building upon the environmental stewardship of the company’s founder Gary Comer for more than 50 years. The company supports both national and local causes, including the National Forest Foundation, the United States Lighthouse Society and the Clean Lakes Alliance.

Under the initiative of “Lands’ Friendly,” Lands’ End has implemented a wide range of environmentally focused business practices including programs to reduce or eliminate paper consumption, comprehensive recycling, and waste management initiatives. For example, in 2012, Lands’ End began a partnership with the National Forest Foundation – the official nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service. Since then, Lands’ End has been part of large-scale plantings in U.S. forests resulting in the planting of 1.2 million trees and counting.

In 2016, Lands’ End launched a new sustainability initiative called Breathe New Life, with some of the largest corporate clients in the Lands’ End Business Outfitters division. Instead of disposing of unusable materials and apparel, Lands’ End now works with Martex Fiber to recycle those textiles into post-consumer fiber, material for insulation, bedding, acoustics, home furnishings and more.

Lands’ End Is Undertaking An Exciting Elevation Of Its Brand Positioning To Move Forward And Continue Being A Best-In-Class Retailer.

For more than 50 years, Lands’ End has been dedicated to providing its customers legendary quality, value and beyond-the-call-of-duty customer service and it has done so admirably. But no company can rest on their laurels, however well-deserved, and attempt to survive in what has become an ever-increasingly difficult (but seemingly “normal”) retail environment. As such, Lands’ End has announced a new fall catalog strategy, complementary digital initiatives and an overall brand advertising campaign aimed at the company’s loyal customers, as well as initiatives inviting new, prospective customers to extend the Lands’ End family. The best weapon in its arsenal is that the classics never, ever goes out of style, and Land’s End has an enviable collection of classic styles that continues to resonate with consumers across the spectrum.

While growing the existing business, Ms. Marchionni oversaw the opening of several key stores – including the 5th Avenue flagship store in New York City as well as stores in other markets including Toronto, Chicago, Aspen and Boston – and also strengthened the brand’s partnership with major U.S. department stores. Working closely with the product development teams, sell-through was also advanced in each category and channel, including online. Prior to that, over the course of a career as a global group director at Dolce&Gabbana that stretches back to 2001, she led business development for business units in more than 100 countries. Ms. Marchionni was also Senior Vice President at Ferrari where she acted as the chief executive of a division that generated an important portion of the company’s worldwide sales. Earlier in her career, Ms. Marchionni held positions of increasing responsibility in product marketing and sales at industry-leading consumer technology and telecommunications companies such as Samsung, Phillips, and Ericsson. She graduated summa cum laude from La Sapienza University of Rome with a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.

In announcing the appointment, Josephine Linden, Chairman of the Board of Lands’ End, said, “We are delighted that Federica Marchionni is joining Lands’ End. She is a multi-talented, visionary business leader with a complete set of creative, strategic and analytical skills to grow a multi-channel apparel brand in a highly competitive and evolving global environment. She has proven product development, retail and international experience, a tremendous passion for success, and a deep network of relationships across the fashion, consumer and retail landscapes. She also fully embraces the principles of quality, value and service on which Gary Comer founded Lands’ End in 1963. We are confident she will build upon the Company’s legacy as a classic American brand with a keen eye toward its future as a global lifestyle brand.”

Mrs. Linden continued: “On behalf of the entire Board and Lands’ End organization, we truly appreciate Edgar Huber’s steady leadership prior to and during the spin-off from Sears Holdings Corporation. With annual sales in excess of $1.5 billion, roots more than 50 years deep and a great team behind it, Lands’ End is ready for a new leader to accelerate the realization of the full potential of the brand and drive profitable growth.”

“With the successful completion of the spin-off of Lands’ End from Sears Holdings Corporation,” Mr. Huber said, “I have accomplished what I came to achieve at Lands’ End and I look forward to the Company’s success in the future.”

“I have long admired Lands’ End’s powerful platform and I am excited to lead this iconic company. I have great respect and appreciation for what the Lands’ End team has accomplished to date, and I look forward to leveraging Lands’ End’s strong foundation to expand the brand into new markets and channels over time while remaining true to the brand’s core values and customer base,” Ms. Marchionni said. “ I join the Lands’ End family with the clear goal of moving the Company forward by working with the Board to identify and pursue growth in key areas, collaborating with and inspiring our people to find new ways to delight customers, and delivering improved financial performance for our shareholders. I cannot wait to get started to take advantage of the significant opportunities ahead.”

Lands’ End Launches Holiday “#MonogramMonday” Campaign Searching for Monogram Matches

At Lands’ End, monogramming costs just $6 per monogram and $10 on most luggage, towel, and sheet sets. Most items can accommodate a monogram of up to 10 characters on one line. (Some items, like baby blankets, can accommodate a monogram of up to 15 characters on up to 3 lines.) To celebrate the company’s busiest monogramming season, today Lands’ End has launched #MonogramMonday, a fun campaign searching for individuals with initials to match monograms posted on Lands’ End’s social platforms.

Each Monday at 8:00 a.m. (CST) from December 1 – December 22, 2014, Lands’ End will post a photo or video of a three-lettered monogram on Twitter (@LandsEndPR & @LandsEnd), Facebook (www.facebook.com/landsend) and Instagram (@LandsEnd_PR & @LandsEnd). The lucky-named individuals whose personal initials match the posted monogram in any order can enter at www.landsend.com/monogrammonday within 24 hours.  All entries matching the monogram will be collected and one winner will be chosen at random to win a $1,000 Lands’ End gift card each week.

During the holiday season, November and December, the monogramming department will go through 3,600 spools of thread – the equivalent of 10,800 miles of thread. The company offers 30 different thread colors to help create a truly personalized look with a monogram, with Parchment being the most popular thread color during the holiday season due to the high volume of Christmas stockings monogrammed. Customers can choose from a single initial, three initials or a word, and then select from a variety of font styles for each choice, with “Mom” and “Dad” being the most popular monograms.

“Monogramming at Lands’ End is our specialty and we love to see how creative our customers and employees can be with thread colors, phrases and words that help to uniquely personalize everything from cashmere sweaters, down vests, canvas totes and fleece throws to even slippers and socks,” said Steve Rado, SVP, chief marketing officer, Lands’ End. “We thought we’d join in the fun this season by offering a fun, engaging campaign focusing on monogramming.  So, check with us each Monday from December 1 through December 22 to see if your initials match.”

Lands’ End Introduces Pink Thread Project to Support and Raise Awareness for Breastcancer.org

Now through October 31, 2014, a little pink does a lot of good. Lands’ End is introducing the Pink Thread Project, a charitable campaign created to help raise awareness for Breastcancer.org the leading online resource for breast health and breast cancer information and support. Breastcancer.org is the leading resource for breast health and breast cancer information and support, with more than 7,000 pages of expert-reviewed information and a robust, dynamic peer support community. A nonprofit organization, Breastcancer.org receives more than 15 million visits each year.

By simply ordering and applying one of six pink thread icons on any Lands’ End item that can be embroidered – from totes and towels to cardigans and shirts – a full 75 percent of the $6.00 embroidery application fee will be donated to Breastcancer.org. Supporters can take part in the Pink Thread Project initiative from September 19 through October 31, 2014. To learn more visitlandsend.com/pinkthread.

“Lands’ End’s ongoing support of breast cancer survivors led to the partnership and development of the Pink Thread Project, a simple way anyone can show support, and enables us to continue to provide our online resource to the millions of people we serve each year,” said Rita Lusen, VP of partnerships and development at Breastcancer.org. “As a breast cancer survivor, I always wanted a fashionable mastectomy swimwear solution and Lands’ End delivered. For many women who have had this life-altering surgery, like those in our Breastcancer.org Community, having an option that addresses their style needs is really important.”

“We all share a common thread of support when it comes to breast cancer. It either affects us personally or through family, friends and colleagues. The Pink Thread Project is a simple way for anyone to help elevate awareness and show their support for Breastcancer.org,” said Michele Donnan-Martin, chief merchandising design officer, Lands’ End. “Whether it’s a pink lighthouse on the cuff of a men’s oxford shirt or the classic pink ribbon on a Lands’ End tote, a little pink truly does a lot of good.”

The curated collection of six pink icons includes the Lands’ End anchorgram and lighthouse logos, the Breastcancer.org Circle of Trust logo, the pink ribbon and a classic sailboat and compass icon.

Additional Pink Thread Project Initiatives
Throughout the month of October, other Lands’ End initiatives to support the Pink Thread Project include:

This Winter Season, Cold Temps Herald Hot Trends in Outerwear at Land’s End

With the predicted harsh winter forecast, stylish yet functional outerwear that delivers on warmth is a must-have – especially for those who like to enjoy the outdoor winter elements.

“No matter how cold it gets or how much snow accumulates, the Lands’ End 2014 Winter Outerwear Collection promises to keep cold-weather wearers prepared for whatever winter throws their way and represents the perfect convergence of fashion and function,” said Michele Donnan-Martin, executive vice president, chief merchandising and design officer, Lands’ End. “From temperature-rated to technical and transitional options, Lands’ End has the perfect outerwear option for everyone in the family at a level of quality and value unmatched in the market.”

Lands’ End promises to have everyone covered. “Our merchandising and design teams not only listened to the woes from last winter, but took that feedback and created one of the most extensive outerwear collections this season to meet the needs of our customers, whether they live and play in Seattle, Chicago or New York City,” said Donnan-Martin.

WOOL’S THE WAY
If you’re keen on keeping fashion at the forefront this season, look no further than the rich and luxurious wool collection. Women will enjoy boiled wool, which works great as lightweight outerwear or a layering piece, as well as Lands’ End’s exclusive cashmere-blend Luxe Wool collection. Additionally, statement pieces like the ultra-feminine Basketweave Wool Toggle Coat will give women something to smile about on chilly winter days.

For men, wool options go from the casual yet classic Wool Pea Coat to tailored dress options like the Wool Patterned Top Coat ($249) and the Wool Tailored Double Breasted Overcoat ($299). All jackets are made from wool exclusive to Lands’ End and contain a waterproof finish.

UP WITH DOWN:
Available in bright colors and timely patterns, Lands’ End’s Lightweight Down – at 600 fill power – allows for the perfect amount of warmth without weight. The jacket ($119) is a key indoor/outdoor piece that can take both men and women from fall to winter. Women also get a fashionable Lightweight Down Coat ($159) with a belt for shaping and a classic hood that converts into a shawl collar to provide warm versatility.

Additionally, women can choose a great Midweight Down that comes in a Shawl Collar Vest ($99) and the flattering Tulip Hem Coat ($199) that features fabric with a slight shine, muted colors and a removable fur ruff to give this collection a refined appearance

YOU’RE GETTING WARMER:
Surprisingly, 41 percent of consumers say they would rather have the perfect warm coat that lasts all winter long than a weekend escape to a tropical beach. Luckily, Lands’ End has the Expedition Parka ($285) for men and women – the warmest and most technical jacket. With unmatched value, the Parka’s 650 fill power, quilted, insulated lining and waterproof, seam-sealed shell provides warmth and dryness on even the wettest winter day.

SEE THE LIGHT:
Colors – whether standard or bold – make the PrimaLoft® Packable Jacket ($99) and Vest ($69) perfect for layering for both men and women. Made from synthetic insulation and a water-repellent finish, this light-feeling jacket still offers great warmth. Each piece folds into its own pocket, making it a great on-the-go garment and perfect for traveling.
