Zutano Enlists United Legwear

The Vermont-based brand Zutano has added a line of kids’ footwear to its collection. The 22-year-old company recently announced that it entered a licensing and design collaboration agreement with United Legwear Company, which will drastically increase the brand’s reach. Together, the two will produce children’s shoes, socks, tights and booties.

The shoe collection runs the gamut, including soft-soled slip-ons for pre-walkers, sturdier rubber soles for toddlers, and a line of boys’ sneakers. Age-appropriate details such as frogs, trains and kitties adorn the infant line, while the toddler girl line is decked out in dainty florals and flashy metallics. Colorful socks, striped knee-high tights and coordinating leg warmers complement the look. As for the boys, kicks come in everything from basic black to ethereal, outer-space patterns.

Both Zutano and United Legwear are happy to be working with each other. Zutano President and co-founder Michael Belenky expanded on the partnership saying, “They [United Legwear] are clearly the best in the business and will be ideal partners to help introduce the Zutano brand to larger retail channels.”
