KBL Group International LTD operates within the Retail Apparel and Fashion sector, leveraging a history that traces back to 1985 when it began as Crystal Kobe, a domestic importer and distributor of women’s sweaters. Over time, the company expanded to include its Kobe line for full-figured women and ventured into children’s sportswear, evolving into a direct-to-factory model and establishing KBL Group in 1993. By the early 2000s, KBL had integrated Crystal Kobe and its international factory network, and in 2019 the group became part of the VM Group as a new division, aligning its strategy to advance its design-oriented business initiatives. Based in New York City, the organization operates from a mid-sized footing within the industry, reflecting a diversified portfolio that combines ownership and licensing arrangements to bring design-driven apparel to market. The company serves markets looking for inclusive, design-inspired fashion and maintains a footprint that emphasizes ongoing adaptation to industry changes.
