Four Marketing, an international premium fashion agency that holds the rights to represent over 30 brands through their flagship and online stores, has announced the acquisition of two brands of outerwear, Penfield and Cape Heights, from their chief executive and creative director, James Barshall. Founded in Hudson, Massachusetts in 1975, Penfield was acquired by Barshall in 2005 from Harvey Gross, a pioneer in the outerwear industry. Cape Heights was established in the 1990s but remained dormant for several years until its re-launch five years ago, mainly in Japan.
