Sentaler Breaks Into U.S. Market With Neiman Marcus

Sentaler, the Toronto-based luxury outerwear company that sells in Canadian retailers such as Nordstrom, Holt Renfrew and Hudson’s Bay, is coming Stateside. The company has confirmed that it has sold Neiman Marcus for the first time this fall, its first major brick-and-mortar account in the U.S. The high-end outerwear collection, which is made of Peruvian alpaca, exploded when Kate Middleton made an appearance in a Sentaler coat during her Royal Tour in Canada. She wore the ribbed sleeve wrap coat in gray. Business was further fueled when Sophie Trudeau, the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, appeared in five Sentaler coats, including the white suri alpaca coat she wore at her husband’s inauguration ceremony. Sentaler coats have also been worn by actress Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s girlfriend. Plans call for the collection to be carried in several Neiman Marcus doors, starting in September, including in Dallas, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Short Hills, N.J. It will also be carried online at neimanmarcus.com and bergdorfgoodman.com in August. Neiman’s will feature one of the coats in its September catalogue. “Their signature ‘ribbed sleeve’ detail is unique, and stands out in the market. The feminine silhouettes and colors are sure to delight our loyal customers,”
