Transaktionsbeschreibung:
LABELUX Group, the Swiss luxury goods company, privately owned by Joh. A. Benckiser SE,
announced that it had acquired Belstaff, the English iconic outerwear company from Clothing Company
Spa. Terms were not disclosed. Since its inception in 1924, when Belstaff’s spirit of innovation resulted in
the development of the first waxed cotton clothing to meet the demand of the nascent motorcycling
industry, the brand has evolved in step with aviation and motorsports development. Belstaff has a unique
heritage and its reputation for fashionable, functional and stylish outerwear has led to significant
development beyond those industries and a strong international awareness. Belstaff has an ambitious
development plan which will be accelerated with the support of Labelux, notably in the fields of
geographical expansion and product extension. The business currently retails through 14 owned stores and
is present in more than 1,000 points of sale worldwide. The size of the global luxury market was estimated
to be worth €168 billion in 2010 and is expected to record compound annual growth of 6.2% to reach
€201 billion by 2013. Labelux, which was established in 2007 with the aim of creating a significant new
global player in the expanding luxury goods sector, has built a strong portfolio of brands in luxury
fashion, leather, accessories and jewellery. Labelux’s existing portfolio comprises Swiss luxury brand
Bally, New York-based apparel label Derek Lam, London-based jeweller Solange Azagury-Partridge,
Italian accessories company Zagliani and the recently acquired global luxury lifestyle accessories
business, Jimmy Choo.
