About RG Barry

 

R.G. Barry designs and markets two female-founded consumer brands: Dearfoams slippers and
Baggallini travel bags. Dearfoams introduced the world’s first foam-soled, washable slipper in 1948 and has since grown to become the slipper category leader in the United States. Baggallini was founded by two flight attendants and is known for its fashionable and functional travel handbags, backpacks, and luggage.
 
Mill Road grew its public shareholdings in R.G. Barry incrementally over a multi-year period, eventually becoming one of the company’s largest shareholders. As its shareholdings grew, Mill Road developed a deep understanding of the company and built relationships with key stakeholders that ultimately facilitated the acquisition of the company.

As a private company, R.G. Barry and Mill Road have worked together to modernize the company’s product offering, elevate the brand and digital marketing, and build strong e-commerce capabilities. Dearfoams sales have grown approximately 50% under Mill Road’s ownership.
