KNS owns a stable of men’s and women’s footwear brands, including Journee Collection.
Over 18 years ago, we were an emerging startup company with a driven founder/CEO, small staff, and big dreams. Today we continue to be driven by our founder/CEO as a leader in the fashion footwear industry with an intense focus on our national retail partnerships.
