This rapidly growing multi-divisional sportswear manufacturer with brands such as Periscope Juniors, Periscope Girls and growth leader Caribbean Joe, was re-born in 2000 after it was acquired by its present ownership. Now, with sales rapidly approaching $500 million annually, Apparel Holdings Group is leaving its mark in a big way.

Caribbean Joe, the company's flagship brand, is sold nationwide at Federated Department Stores, May Co., Saks Inc., Dillards, Belks, Carson Pirie Scott and other major independent stores - totaling well over 1,500 department store doors. Featuring exotic island prints and coordinating solids, the collection is based around camp shirts and relaxed pants, some with elastic. All items are washable and fabrics include rayon, denim and stretch jersey.
