Brothers looking to expand fashion brand in US and China

Manchester based hat brand Twinzz has announced plans to launch in stores in the US and China before the end of the year.

The firm was set up by brothers Jez and Ali Farooq.

The brand, which was established in 2016, is already stocked in over 370 stores in the UK including high street giants JD Sports and Footasylum.

The brothers now plan to launch their distinctive brand in the US and China.

The brand has grown exponentially since it launched two years ago. The first high street store to stock it in the UK was Footasylum.

Twinzz has also been very well received in Eastern European countries.

Jez Farooq says: “We are really excited about expanding the brand into new territories.

“When we first saw people wearing our hats around Manchester we felt really overwhelmed, fast forward two years and we’re now in physical stores all over the world – it’s been a whirlwind.”

Ali Farooq says: “I think people relate to the brand because of its authenticity.

“We’re not trying to be something we’re not, we’re just two regular guys with a passion for fashion.

“We launched the brand because we believe in our products.”
