Stratham, NH – August 26, 2009 – The Timberland Company and Saks Fifth Avenue are proud to announce the introduction of Timberland® footwear at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide.

To share and honor the craftsmanship behind Timberland® footwear, a handsewer from the company’s Dominican Republic factory – where all Timberland® handsewns are made – will be on-site during “Fashion’s Night Out” on the afternoon and evening of Thursday, September 10th and also on Saturday afternoon, September 12th to demonstrate the art of building a premium shoe. The shop, located on the 7th floor, will be open from September 9th – September 20th.
