Kering invests in Vestiaire Collective
This week, Kering announced it was taking a minority stake in Vestiaire Collective, as part of the luxury resale site's latest round of financing. As part of this deal, the conglomerate will now have a seat on Vestiaire Collective's board of directors. In a statement, Kering chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault said: "Pre-owned luxury is now a real and deeply rooted trend, especially among younger customers. Rather than ignoring it, our wish is to seize this opportunity to enhance the value we offer our customers and influence the future of our industry towards more innovative and more sustainable practices. This fits naturally with our entrepreneurial spirit, our pioneering sustainability strategy, and our modern vision of Luxury." {Fashionista Inbox}
