Stella Artois Joins Forces With Kyle Kuzma and Potr by Yoshida & Co. to Launch Latest Premier Fashion Collaboration

New York, NY – August 1, 2022 – Stella Artois, together with basketball star and fashion icon Kyle Kuzma and luxury fashion brand POTR by Yoshida & Co., announced the launch of their newest fashion program “Secure The Bag.” The fully integrated campaign features digital content across Stella’s platforms, in-store signage featuring Kuzma in retailers nationwide and custom limited-edition “Secure The Bag” 25 oz. cans, featuring a unique QR code digitized pattern.

“It’s been great working with Stella on this collaboration,” said Kyle Kuzma, “Fashion has always been a key part of my identity and how I express myself, and it’s been exciting to partner with a brand that understands the importance of savoring life in style. I’m looking forward to sharing the shopping experience with the lucky winner this fall.”

To kick-off the campaign, Stella is launching a nationwide sweepstakes to give fans the chance to win an exclusive limited-edition version of the POTR’s “Flex 2 Way Helmet” Tote Bag and one lucky grand prize fan will have the opportunity to go on a $10,000 fashion shopping spree with Kuzma himself.

"Building on last year’s success of culture-driven fashion collaborations, this partnership felt like a natural fit for Stella,” said Marcela Garcia, Vice President of Marketing for Stella Artois. “As the leading modern-premium beer brand, we believe in elevating the everyday, and Kyle is someone who makes premium feel fresh. We’re thrilled to work with him as we continue to establish ourselves within the fashion industry.”

Eligible fans interested in the sweepstakes can enter via www.mycooler.com/securethebag or scan the QR codes on in-store “Secure The Bag” signage. Custom “Secure The Bag” cans will be rolling out at retailers nationwide throughout the month of August and the sweepstakes will run through October 1st, followed by the announcement of the grand prize winner.
