Expansion Funding for The Row
The Row, founded in 2006, is generating significant news this fall. The quiet luxury brand secured a significant financial endorsement from two of the world’s most influential families in the fashion and beauty sectors. The Wertheimer family, owners of Chanel, and L’Oréal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, have acquired minority stakes in the company, pushing The Row’s valuation to $1 billion.
Natalie Massenet, co-founder of Imaginary Ventures and former CEO of Net-a-Porter, has also backed The Row, further cementing the brand’s reputation among top-tier investors.
AOC notes that the Olsen owners have achieved their investment goal without losing control of their brand.
New Shop in Paris
The Row continued to generate September headlines in fashion world with the opening of its new store in Paris, tucked away on 1 rue du Mont Thabor, at the corner of rue d’Alger and in the shadow of The Louvre. The same design aesthetic permeates the new interior space, once a restaurant, that defines the clothes and accessories carrying The Row’s label.
