AIG Launches Comprehensive Solution for Couture and Designer Wardrobe Collections

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AIG Private Client Group, a division of American International Group,
Inc. (NYSE: AIG) that serves high net worth policyholders, today
introduced wearable collections coverage, a unique, specialized
insurance solution for couture and designer wearable collections.

The new couture product offers coverage not typically found in a
homeowners policy and recognizes the high value placed on the fine
craftsmanship of high-end designer fashions and wardrobe accessories.

The insurance covers couture and ready-to-wear garments, shoes,
handbags, and vintage and historic clothing. It addresses damage caused
by flood, mold, and moths, risks often excluded from a homeowners
policy. Coverage for custom, work-in-progress couture and shoes is also
provided, as is reimbursement of expenses for clients who protect their
couture by removing it from the home in advance of an impending threat.

In addition, the insurance covers dry cleaning and wardrobe preparation
expenses by a high-end garment care specialist following a covered loss—
a common prerequisite for acceptance into a secure garment storage
facility.

“Much like collectors of fine art, vintage cars, or wine, customers who
invest in their wardrobes can be quite passionate about their
acquisitions,” said Ron Fiamma, Vice President and Global Head of
Private Collections for AIG Private Client Group. “To help safeguard
these items, our new couture solution closes the gaps in a traditional
homeowners policy and enables us to proactively mitigate risks for these
collections.”

In developing this coverage, AIG worked with Garde Robe Online, LLC, a
wardrobe storage and preservation service, to identify coverage features
that would address real concerns for collectors.

AIG Private Client Group’s in-house collection management specialists
are available to customers year-round to help preserve the long-term
value of collectible garments, shoes, and handbags. Services include
vulnerability assessments, emergency planning, and referrals to wardrobe
preservation specialists.

AIG’s couture coverage is sold as an endorsement to the insurer’s
private collections policy, which includes additional advantages such as
agreed value coverage, no deductibles, and loss in value payments. The
coverage is available today in New York and Texas. Availability in
additional states will follow.
