New bundles of teen and kid backpacks, lunch bags and pencil cases in bold colors

TORONTO , July 19, 2022 /CNW/ -- Although school just ended, busy parents know it is never too early to start planning for the upcoming school year. For the first time, Roots, the global lifestyle brand inspired by the Canadian outdoors, will sell an exclusively licensed collection of back-to-school accessories on Amazon.ca. Customers can purchase each item separate or in three piece bundles for teens and kids consisting of a backpack, a lunch bag (with accompanying icepack in the teen bundles), and a pencil case in 13 new eye-catching patterns and colors.

Whether shopping for a young child or a teenager, parents will find that these new accessories offer the same superior quality that Roots is known for. Backpacks and pencil cases are made of high-quality, water-repellant materials, providing protection for all the wonders kids have stored inside, even when caught in the rain. Each bundle comes with a matching lunch bag that features an extra-large main compartment and easy-to-clean insulated lining that keeps food fresh for over eight hours. With the backpack's extra-padded back and shoulder straps for additional support, students will start the school year feeling comfortable, while looking stylish.

"In partnership with TP-Holiday Group, we are looking forward to offering this new collection of select back-to-school accessories on Amazon," commented Melinda McDonald , VP of Wholesale & Business Development at Roots. "With consumers looking for a one-stop shopping solution for their back-to-school accessories, we see this partnership as a great opportunity to expand our presence in this segment."

A remarkable boost in sales from outdoor brand The North Face offset VF Corp’s struggles in China and continuing disappointing results from top brand Vans and pushed the Denver-based apparel giant to a 7% revenue boost to $2.3 billion in its most recent quarter. VF (NYSE: VFC) officials reported “healthy top-line performance” for the company Thursday, aided by big growth also in Europe and in some of its smaller brands, including Denver-based running-shoe manufacturer Altra. The company reduced its earnings forecast for the current fiscal year due to the negative impacts of the rising value of the dollar on overseas sales, which sent stock prices down about 1% in after-hours trading following the release of its earnings report, but said it expects no dip in overall revenue.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Oil prices rose more than $3 a barrel on Friday as attention turned to next week's OPEC+ meeting and dimming expectations that the producer group will imminently boost supply.
