Customer Success Story: Randa Accessories (Retail)
Business Issue: Global Freight Forwarding Services and Foreign Trade Zone Enablement
Founded in 1910, Randa is one of the world’s largest accessories companies, spanning 11 countries, with a portfolio of 50 brands and over 100 years of experience. From sketch to scale, across four extraordinary product divisions, Randa produces exceptional products and services worldwide, delighting customers and making partners successful.
Randa sources fashion accessories from global manufacturers for distribution throughout North American and Eurpean markets. As the business grew, Randa’s supply chain became increasingly more complex.

Over the years, the relationship between the two companies has grown, as Randa made LEGACY its primary logistics services partner, supporting the transporation of goods from offshore manufacturing to final distribution in North America.
Today, Randa and LEGACY continue to enjoy a highly collaborative partnership, one that includes the following value-added logistics solutions:

In recognition of this partnership, LEGACY Suppy Chain Services was named Randa Accessories 2018 Logistics Partner of the Year for exceptional service and overall logistics performance. Randa and LEGACY’s story is one of mutual growth — what began as a simple conversation has evolved into a long-term value-added partnership.
