ISABEL MARANT acquired by MONTEFIORE INVESTMENT

FRANCE Consumer Products / Fashion & Apparel EV 300M - 700M EUR

Context

Montefiore Investment has acquired a 51% stake in the Isabel Marant fashion house. Isabel Marant and her long-standing partners, Sophie Duruflé and Nathalie Chemouny, will retain the remaining 49% of the capital, ensuring creative and operational continuity. This "capitalistic partnership" marks the end of the brand's pure self-financing era and the beginning of a structured institutional growth phase. The strategic rationale is focused on accelerating international development and diversifying the brand's product ecosystem into highly profitable categories such as accessories, leather goods (handbags), and menswear. Furthermore, the partnership aims to fund a critical digital pivot, including the launch of the brand’s first e-commerce platform. By leveraging Montefiore’s expertise in distribution, Isabel Marant seeks to transition from a designer-led boutique business into a global lifestyle brand.

ISABEL MARANT, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2015, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.0x).
