Elevating our SS26 Fashion brand portfolio with Katag

Published on 14 Jul, 2025

Gaining Momentum for Katag Menswear

Following the successful launch of our exclusive menswear ranges with German buying group Katag last season – Basefield, CF Finest, and Commander – we're excited to announce Season II of this valuable partnership! 

Building on a strong foundation, we’re focusing on SS26 and showcasing our exclusive brands at this week’s INDX National Menswear Show—available only to AIS Members in a private showroom.

Katag is a well-established buying group with a significant presence in the fashion industry, known for its high-quality own-label brands that offer exclusivity and strong margin potential. We believe this presents another excellent commercial opportunity for our members. 

The three brands complement our existing CENPAC Menswear brand portfolio, providing modern pieces, classic refinement, and everyday essentials.

  • Basefield Menswear – a relaxed casualwear offering targeting the modern man’s weekend style 

  • CF Finest – a sophisticated & contemporary collection crafted in premium yarns and fabrics 

  • Commander Flag – catering for the classic man with a value for money range that does not compromise on style or quality  

Womenswear joins the AIS Katag Lineup

We are thrilled announce the debut of three exciting new womenswear brands launching at INDX Woman July 20-22 July. This is a unique opportunity for our members to gain exclusive access to these brands in the UK and Ireland.

Our AIS expert Fashion Team have carefully selected two exclusive ranges for the SS26 season, offering a diverse selection to cater to our Members' customer base:  

  • The Fashion People:  A brand that will has a strong focus as much in sustainability as it does in styling. Suitable for Women of all ages who are looking for fashionable styles in ethically sourced materials to suit their everyday wardrobe 

  • Clarina: Catering for the classically dressed woman looking for quality &value whilst not compromising on style  

These brands have the potential to significantly enhance the womenswear offering and drive customer interest across our membership.

We are excited to see where this new era in our Member exclusives will take us and how our partnership will grow.
