Totes ISOTONER was formed in 1997 from two companies each renamed for its leading product. Totes began in 1923 as the SoLo Marx Company in Oakley, Ohio, moved to Loveland, Ohio in 1942, and took the Totes name after Chicago businessman Brad Phillips bought the company in 1961. ARIS ISOTONER began in 1910 as the Aris Glove Company and added the ISOTONER name from its nylon/spandex glove. In 1969 ARIS ISOTONER became a subsidiary of Consolidated Foods; the same year, Phillips obtained the first U.S. patent for a working folding umbrella, which Totes began selling in the United States in 1970. The merged company is privately held by MidOcean Partners, a private equity firm based in New York City and London.
The brand architecture follows the weather. Under totes come umbrellas, rubber footwear, ponchos, rain hats and travel bags, plus licensed gift and boot products. ISOTONER covers winter gloves, hats and slippers - cold weather accessories built on the stretch-glove heritage of the Aris side. ESNY, mostly known for private label footwear, sells branded flip-flops, sandals and ESNY Occasions wedding footwear. Together the three brands let one supplier fill a retailer's rain, cold-weather and seasonal footwear fixtures at once, which is why the products are carried by most national retailers in the United States, Canada and Europe, sold online at totes.com and in outlet stores across the United States. Accessory companies like this one rarely appear in fashion coverage, yet the folding umbrella in a commuter's bag is very likely their work.
