Backer left Flora Nikrooz after more than 30 years with her namesake brand. What followed was the birth of Rya Collection, influenced by a new generation of passionate, independent, and am-bitious women.
In the partnership, Rya Collection will take advantage of Montelle’s extensive distribution net-work and established infrastructure, supporting the brand’s growth and penetration objectives. Rya Collection customers will benefit from the industry-leading service of Montelle’s dedicated Customer Service team, an international sales presence, a strong inventory management sys-tem and warehousing in Canada and the US for swift order processing and delivery.
Flora and her team will continue to lead the brand from a creative perspective and will keep the fastidious quality control the brand is known for.
“Flora Backer is a force and much loved presence in the intimates industry. Her magical new brand, Rya Collection, has caught the fashion industry’s attention and is growing at an explosive rate. We couldn’t be more pleased to share this much-loved line of intimates with our customers and look forward to a promising future in our partnership with Rya Collection”, says William Haddad, President of Montelle Intimates Inc. Backer added, “I love the synergy between Rya Collection and Montelle. We share similar values and a commitment to creating inspiring lingerie that our customers will love. We are thrilled about this partnership and look forward to taking Rya Collection to the next level.”
