CHARVET acquired by CHANEL

The transaction consists of the divestment of Marc Jacobs by LVMH to an American consortium comprising WHP Global and G-III Apparel Group. The transaction is structured around a 50/50 joint venture that will fully own the global intellectual property (IP) rights of the Marc Jacobs brand. While WHP Global will handle the high-margin licensing business, G-III will entirely buy out, manage, and operate the commercial business, including global direct-to-consumer retail and wholesale operations. The brand's 63-year-old founder, Marc Jacobs, will remain embedded in the business as Chief Creative Officer

The transaction marks the formal acquisition of a 77.17% controlling interest in Culti Milano by Berger International (Emosia Group/Argos Fund), triggering a mandatory tender offer (OPA) for the remaining outstanding shares with the strategic objective of delisting the target. This acquisition is a synergistic move for Emosia Group, aimed at consolidating its market share in the premium home fragrance sector. By integrating the target’s luxury positioning and design-led product portfolio, Emosia strengthens its global competitive edge and diversification within the home decor category

FSI has transitioned from a minority investor to the controlling shareholder of Missoni, reinforcing its commitment to the brand's long-term expansion rather than pursuing an international sale. The transaction was conducted alongside Katjes Quiet Luxury, which acquired a 25% stake through the Fassin and Bachmueller families. This new ownership structure marks the end of the founding family's majority control, though they remain custodians of the brand’s heritage through the Ottavio and Rosita Missoni Foundation

L Catterton has successfully entered into an exclusive agreement to acquire a significant minority shareholding in EX NIHILO from Eurazeo and the organization’s founders. This strategic transaction marks the exit of the previous financial sponsor after a highly successful two-year partnership characterized by rapid international expansion and organizational structuring. The strategic rationale for the move centers on leveraging the new acquirer’s global reach and deep consumer-sector expertise to propel the brand into its next phase of development, specifically targeting increased market penetration in the Americas and Asia

LVMH has acquired an additional 9% stake in Loro Piana from the founding Loro Piana family for a consideration of EUR1 billion. This transaction increases LVMH's total shareholding from 85% (historically 80%) to 94%. The Loro Piana family retains a residual 6% minority stake. The move comes shortly after the appointment of Frederic Arnault as CEO and amidst a strategy to deliberately "brake" volume growth to preserve exclusivity and quality. This follows the original 2013 acquisition where LVMH bought 80% for EUR2 billion

The transaction involves the acquisition of Benelli Ademaro by AMF Group, a portfolio company of Alpha Private Equity. The sellers have agreed to reinvest a portion of their proceeds into the AMF Group, following the established "partnership" model used by the group in previous acquisitions. This deal marks a significant expansion of AMF’s footprint in the strategic Scandicci leather goods district, enhancing its proximity to the workshops and manufacturing centers of major luxury houses. The rationale is focused on achieving industrial and commercial synergies by integrating Benelli’s specialized product development skills and local market relationships with AMF’s large scale production facilities and advanced laboratories

VSP Vision has completed the acquisition of Marcolin S.p.A. from PAI Partners and minority shareholders. The transaction represents a major consolidation move in the global eyewear industry and aligns with VSP Vision’s strategy to strengthen its presence across the full optical value chain, combining vision care services, eyewear distribution, and manufacturing capabilities. The acquisition enhances VSP Vision’s integrated eyewear platform alongside its existing Marchon Eyewear business, creating stronger industrial scale, broader brand portfolio coverage, and deeper global sourcing and product development capabilities

The acquisition of L'Epée 1839 by LVMH is a strategic move to strengthen the group's watch division and expand its presence in the haute horlogerie sector. This transaction is a testament to LVMH's commitment to preserving and promoting traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage, while also innovating and pushing the boundaries of luxury and creativity. The acquisition will enable LVMH to leverage L'Epée 1839's exceptional expertise and unique savoir-faire, which will complement the group's existing watchmaking capabilities

Quadrivio Group, through its Lifestyle Fund II, has acquired a majority stake in Filippo De Laurentiis (Fili S.r.l.) from the founding Ferrante family. This marks the second investment for the Lifestyle Fund II and the sixth overall within the broader Lifestyle segment for Quadrivio. The Ferrante family will remain significantly invested and continue to manage the company. The strategic rationale for the deal is to accelerate the brand's global expansion, particularly in the United States and Asia, while launching a dedicated e-commerce channel and expanding into the retail market

This represents the family's second attempt to take the company private in less than two years, following a failed bid in 2022. The strategic rationale for the delisting is to provide the group with "greater management and organizational flexibility" and faster decision-making capabilities. Post-transaction, the Della Valle family will maintain majority control with a 54% stake, while L Catterton will hold 36% and LVMH (via Delphine S.A.S...
