Bob Marley's family has signed a deal to market products based on his name and image.
A raft of Bob Marley merchandise could be hitting the shops after his family signed a deal to market his likeness.
The late reggae star's family has entered into an agreement with private equity group Hilco Consumer Capital to handle licensing for products themed on his name and image.
Among the goods being considered are musical instruments, shoes, food, snowboards, headphones and luggage, while a Bob Marley coffee and beer is expected to hit the high street soon.
In addition, the agreement could see products marketed under the name of Marley's songs, such as Tuff Gong, Catch A Fire and One Love.
The singer's daughter, Cedella, told the BBC: "We're open to licensing just about anything."
"If it is not right, we will not do it," she added.
The deal has been struck to tackle the problem of counterfeiters cashing in on Marley's name, which has spawned an estimated $600 million (£418 million) a year black market.
Recently, cross-cultural global musical movement Playing For Change debuted their cover of the Jamaican star's classic One Love on birthday on February 6th.
