Dutch LLC, the parent company behind contemporary brands JOIE, Equipment and Current/Elliott, has announced the appointment of Sarah Rutson as Chief Brand Officer. In addition, the company will be renamed The Collected Group and Sarah will work closely with its existing management team to oversee the organization's rebrand and expansion.

Going forward, The Collected Group will continue to focus on the growth and expansion of its existing brands (JOIE, Equipment and Current/Elliott), while also developing a broader offering in the designer, beauty and lifestyle brand categories. As part of this effort, The Collected Group will selectively look for opportunities to expand its portfolio through strategic investments in established as well as up-and-coming labels. 
 
Previously Sarah was Vice President of Global Buying at Net-A-Porter and Fashion Director at Chinese luxury retail network Lane Crawford Joyce Group.
