Heritage UK menswear brand Hawes & Curtis and British handbag label Zatchels will be featured at five New York Sears stores this fall as part of the retailer’s new Showcase initiative.

Creating 10,000 to 15,000 sq ft boutiques within existing apparel areas, Sears is set to introduce new international brands across men's, women's and children’s apparel, women's shoes, intimates and handbags.

The lineup includes labels from Spain, Mexico, Denmark and France, with many launching in the US for the first time.

In addition to Hawes & Curtis and Zatchels, the initiative includes menswear brand Jack & Jones and high street womenswear brand Mango.

"These curated collections are a perfect complement to our existing apparel assortment and offer exposure to brands you'd otherwise have to travel internationally to try on," said Joelle Maher, president and chief member officer for Sears.

"Not only will our members love the fashion and selection, they'll love the unique space we're building out in each store. It will be inviting, high energy, and staffed with knowledgeable associates dedicated to serving members who shop the Showcase."

Sears is an American chain of department stores with over 700 locations across the US.
