Poetic Brands, the specialist apparel licensee for adults, kids and babywear, is designing, manufacturing and distributing apparel for the UK market celebrating the children’s brand Sesame Street.
Poetic is now planning a wide range of babywear, accessories, maternitywear, family apparel, footwear and luggage for the brand, taking inspiration from the colourful and positive imagery associated with Sesame Street throughout its many decades.
Sesame Street and Sesame Street spin-off content are currently available across multiple platforms in the UK.
