Candie's is a clothing brand started in 1981. Originally a Charles Cole "El Greco" line of shoes, the brand was purchased by Iconix Brand Group in 1993. Since 2005, Kohl's Department Stores has had exclusive rights to the Candie's brand in all departments except shoes.

Candie's sells juniors' jewelry and apparel. Candie's has two fragrances: Candie's Heartbreaker Perfume Collection and Candie's Luxe Eau de Toilette Perfume Spray. The brand has also added curtains and girls' clothing and apparel.[clarification needed]

In June 2001, Candie’s launched a non-profit foundation called The Candie’s Foundation. The foundation's mission is to fight teenage pregnancy.[1][2]

The girl group Fifth Harmony is the current face of Candie's. Bella Thorne and Carly Rae Jepsen were the previous spokesperson in 2014 and 2013 while Lea Michele,[3] Vanessa Hudgens, Britney Spears, Dixie Chicks, Hayden Panettiere, Alyssa Milano, Fergie, Lil' Kim, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Kelly Clarkson, Jenny McCarthy, Vanessa Carlton, Ashanti and Destiny's Child have also represented the brand.
