Mr. Herlory commented, "I am excited to begin the next chapter of my career. I have admired the Vilebrequin brand for many years. Vilebrequin has maintained the highest integrity of design, quality and value. We have a shared vision for the Vilebrequin brand and will continue to set the standard for men's casual luxury.
“We believe that the brand is positioned extremely well to expand its business into more points of sale throughout the world. In the near-term, we will also work on further developing men's accessories and resort-wear. It is our intention to leverage our strong brand and the additional resources G-III will provide to quickly transcend our leadership position in the men's luxury resort business."
Barclays acted as exclusive financial advisor to G-III. Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. and Meyerlustenberger Lachenal Avocats served as legal advisors for G-III in connection with the acquisition of Vilebrequin.
