Well before Andy Samberg and T-Pain typified the phrase
“I’m on a boat,” Lexington-based brand Sperry Top-Sider was synonymous with all things nautical. Now, the preppy shoemaker is setting out into new waters by expanding its brand to include accessories like scarves, hosiery, gloves, headwear, and eyewear, as well as even more water-friendly gear, such as swimwear and cover-ups. The brand will also start selling shoe care products, so yes, your Top-Siders will be even more resilient to spills, wear, and tear. The company even hinted at future deals to make even more products, such as watches, though there's no word on whether they’ll ever branch out into a full-on clothing line.
When can you expect to see this all-new Sperry line on the horizon? The new collections are set to hit the company’s retail stores, its website, and other retailers in spring 2013. Surely, you don’t want to miss the boat on this, but if you need something to hold you over until it arrives, we suggest the
Vineyard Vines accessories line.
