Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Darlie’s long history reflects the way consumer brands adapt across cultures and generations. It began in Shanghai in the 1930s and is owned and manufactured by Hawley & Hazel, headquartered in Taiwan. Colgate-Palmolive acquired a 50 percent stake in Hawley & Hazel in 1985. Four years later, the English brand name changed and the packaging image was updated. This quarter-zip sweatshirt connects everyday wear with that layered story, making it a considered choice for collectors and for people interested in Asian-market brand history.
Darlie is an oral care brand owned and manufactured by Hawley & Hazel, a company headquartered in Taiwan. The brand began as Darkie in Shanghai in the 1930s and has focused on Asian markets. Colgate-Palmolive acquired a 50 percent equity stake in Hawley & Hazel in 1985. Following that investment, the brand continued to be sold in several Asian countries, while Colgate-Palmolive stated it would not be sold outside Asia. In 1989, the English brand name changed from Darkie to Darlie, and the packaging image was altered. The Chinese name remained unchanged at that time. On June 19, 2020, Colgate-Palmolive announced a review of the brand, including its name. On December 14, 2021, Hawley & Hazel announced that the Chinese name would change from 黑人牙膏 to 好來 beginning in March 2022, aligning it with the subsidiary company name. The brand's original flavor was mint. The source also reports historical market-share figures for Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and describes Darlie as a bestselling toothpaste brand in its target markets in late 2018.
