The Kerrygold Butter Club merch lineup has been created through a partnership with Cherry Bombe as a series of clothing and accessories perfect for helping fans to show off their prowess for the brand's signature butter.
The products will be on sale at the Bombesquad Bazaar in SoHo hosted by Cherry Bombe and Shopify with all proceeds donated to the food rescue organization City Harvest in New York City. The items are all limited-edition and aim to capitalize on the popularity of branded merch as consumers embrace clothing and accessories associated with their favorite products.
Vice President, Marketing Ornua Foods North America, Inc. Kate Saul spoke on the Kerrygold Butter Club merch lineup saying, "Our partnership with Cherry Bombe is built on a shared foundation of celebrating craftsmanship, quality, and community. Our fans are at the heart of everything we do, and their support has created a true community of butter lovers. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Galentine's Day than by bringing a selection of our Butter Club merchandise to the Bombesquad Bazaar, sharing the Kerrygold love with the incredible people who have championed our brand, and giving back to community by supporting the vital work of City Harvest."
