Valentino Will Soon Be Listed As A Turning Point

Since the Jimmy Choo last year, IPO has rarely seen luxury fashion brands enter the capital market. News from Milan has predicted that Italy's luxury brand Valentino, which is constantly rumoured to be on the market, will soon be on the market.

Although Bloomberg reported that Valentino is expected to be listed as soon as possible next year, according to sources, the data released by Valentino is likely to only arouse the interest of potential investors, not for listing.

Sassi has been committed to the expansion of online retailing, and is also expanding its wholesale customers to find new markets.

Valentino creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Picciol continue to add fresh elements to the brand, enhancing brand activity and arousing customers' desire to buy.

This year, the industry speculated that four popular fashion brands are on the market. Besides Valentino, there are Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Versace.

According to US media reports, Valentino continues to grow in scale and reputation. In fact, the company's performance has increased by more than three times. The company expects sales to reach 1 billion euros by the end of this year, or 1 billion 130 million dollars at current exchange rate.

Valentino CEO Stefano Sassi said that this year is a symbolic turning point. We will reach a new stage and expect the company's valuation to reach 2 billion euros (US $2 billion 270 million).

Last Friday, the company responded to a report from Bloomberg that Valentino was close to the market. A company spokesman said: "shareholders and management will focus on expanding the global influence of the brand."

When asked whether Valentino will be listed in the future or whether the company has plans to acquire other fashion brands, Sassi declined to disclose details, saying that Valentino did not need to inject foreign capital, and said that investment company Mayhoola was indeed interested in luxury investment, but it was necessary to see if there was a suitable opportunity.

Mayhoola, an investment company, said: "this reaffirmed the original intention of our acquisition of Valentino. When we bought the brand in 2012, we plan to build a successful luxury platform.

Therefore, the growth plan of Valentino is still the focus of attention of shareholders and management.

This means that the acquisition and listing of luxury brands at the same time will not be considered for the time being.

Rothschild group, an investment adviser, declined to comment on this speculation.
