Oxford Golf, a trusted name in traditional, upscale men’s golf apparel, announced today the launch of the premier Oxford Golf ladies collection at the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show.
"The launch of our ladies collection is going to raise the bar in women’s golf fashion to a new level. Sophisticated design details, luxurious fabrics and modern silhouettes give the line a refreshing and contemporary look found no where else in the women’s golf market," said Dave Leveille, President of the Oxford Golf Group.
The Oxford Golf ladies collection can be viewed exclusively by appointment only in Orange County Convention Center Room W332, on the second level outside of the apparel section of the main show floor. Once inside the transformed meeting space, potential customers will see a fully merchandised presentation of the women’s product both on mannequins and fixtures while also being able to utilize a relaxing reception and bar area at which refreshments and beverages will be offered. To schedule an appointment to view the Oxford Golf ladies collection, please contact Customer Service at 1-866-PAR4-OXF.
The ladies collection consists of four deliveries that will begin to ship to customers for Holiday 2007. Each delivery features a unique and vibrant color palette of tops and bottoms that are both fashionable and functional in their sportswear-inspired design. Novelty details include wooden buttons, bead appliqués and embroideries. In tops, styles range from luxurious silk cotton sweaters to authentic CoolMax® performance knit fabrics. Several shorts are offered in the longer, sophisticated inseams that women golfers are demanding today, while all skorts feature stretch-moisture wicking linings. Fashion outerwear includes a luxurious and modern interpretation of the classic motorcycle-inspired leather jacket. Coordinated belts round out each delivery and add the finishing touch to any Oxford Golf ladies outfit.
Designed with the same philosophy that led to Oxford Golf’s success over the last three years, the Oxford Golf ladies collection features high quality product at the very best value. This new ladies line will be sold exclusively to the finest pro shops and resorts across the United States by the Oxford Golf Group’s national sales team.
