Candie's is a clothing brand started in 1981. Originally a Charles Cole "El Greco" line of shoes, the brand was purchased by Iconix Brand Group in 1993. Since 2005, Kohl's Department Stores has had exclusive rights to the Candie's brand in all departments except shoes.
Candie's sells juniors' jewelry and apparel. Candie's has two fragrances: Candie's Heartbreaker Perfume Collection and Candie's Luxe Eau de Toilette Perfume Spray. The brand has also added curtains and girls' clothing and apparel.
In June 2001, Candie’s launched a non-profit foundation called The Candie’s Foundation. The foundation's mission is to fight teenage pregnancy.[1][2]
