Following the announcement of Coty's Q1 2021 results, CEO Sue Nabi joined an investor call where she noted the company's efforts to streamline mass SKUs, "including this morning announcement of the Stetson license moving to a new licensor." The move, she added, would "have a negligible impact on our sales."
Now, Edge Beauty has announced that it has acquired the license to Stetson.The move, effective January 1, 2021, will expand the license into new areas of beauty, including cologne, natural scents, men’s grooming and men’s skin care.
