Cole Haan is a fashion label that was founded in Chicago, Illinois, United States, in 1928. The name comes from founders Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan. Originally Cole Haan was a men's footwear label. Today it offers many products, including men's and women's dress and casual footwear, belts, hosiery, handbags, gloves, scarves, hats, outerwear, and sunglasses. Previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike, Cole Haan has its headquarters in Yarmouth, Maine, and its design center in New York City. Apax Partners LLC acquired Cole Haan LLC from NIKE, Inc. for $570 million in cash in 2013. Cole Haan products are also sold at retailers such as Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Macy's and others. On February 25, 2008, the company announced it would discontinue using real animal fur in its products for business and sustainability reasons. Cole Haan chose Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova to headline its Spring 2009 and Fall 2009 advertising campaigns. Their Maine headquarters is relocating from Yarmouth to Scarborough in summer, 2011.Brand Details
