Footwear brand Skechers has announced that it will work with Los Angeles-based leathergoods manufacturer French Craft to produce a line of Skechers leathergoods and accessories.

The collection will include belts and wallets will be available in June in independent department, specialty and sporting goods stores throughout the US and Canada.
