MISSONI

Acquired by

FSI (FONDO STRATEGICO ITALIANO)

ITALY Luxury Goods / Fashion & Leather Goods REV 100M - 200M EUR

Context

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. The strategic rationale for the increased stake is to provide the additional capital and institutional backing needed for a new phase of international growth, following a successful post-pandemic recovery. The existing management team and CEO remain in place to ensure governance continuity, while the brand continues to record significant sales growth in its latest collections, outperforming many of its larger luxury peers.

MISSONI, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.3x).
