The businesses we partner have strong national and international brands:

• Gant – uplifting, optimistic, independent and free-spirited.
  Originating as a men’s wear label in the USA in 1949, the Gant brand is now owned by a Swedish company and offers clothing that ‘fuses American casualness with European elegance’.  Between our investment in 2003 and the company’s IPO in 2006, Gant successfully migrated its brand to women’s and children’s clothes, and expanded its international presence to almost 70 countries.

• Group Vendôme – a trusted family brand with more than 100 years of heritage.
  In France, Groupe Vendôme is well known for its range of skin care products for adults and babies.  One of its brands, Le Petit Marseillais, has been a trusted family name for more than a century.  During the four years 3i worked with the company, we helped it focus on brand management by sub-contracting its manufacturing activities and acquiring the Persavon name.
