Next has acquired a significant stake in fashion retailer Reiss from private equity firm Warburg Pincus. The deal, which values the brand at £376 million, sees the Reiss family’s stake increase to 22%, while Next’s stake grows to 72%.
The acquisition marks Next’s continued expansion into the fashion industry, following its purchase of Lipsy in 2019.
The move also strengthens Reiss’s position in the market, as the brand continues to grow in popularity. Reiss is known for its high-end, stylish clothing and accessories, and has a strong presence in the UK and internationally.
The deal is expected to have a positive impact on both companies, as Next’s extensive retail experience and Reiss’s strong brand reputation combine to create a powerful partnership.
The move is also likely to benefit customers, as Reiss gains access to Next’s vast customer base and distribution network.
With this acquisition, Next has solidified its position as a major player in the fashion industry, and Reiss is poised for continued growth and success.
