Katjes International closes investment in global brand Missoni 

• Katjes International has today completed the acquisition of approximately 27% of Missoni
• Antitrust approvals in Germany and Austria were already obtained in April

Dusseldorf/Milan, 20 May 2026 – Katjes International has today, through its wholly owned subsidiary Katjes Quiet Luxury, acquired approximately 27% of the shares in Missoni S.p.A. (“Missoni”). Following the agreement signed on 3 March 2026, the transaction has now been completed on 20 May 2026. Antitrust approvals were already granted on 10 April and 21 April 2026 in Germany and Austria, respectively. The transaction has therefore been successfully completed.

In the first step of the transaction, the Italian growth equity fund FSI acquired all shares held by the Missoni family. The antitrust approval in Italy for this preceding transaction was granted on 21 April 2026. Immediately thereafter, Katjes Quiet Luxury acquired the 27% stake. Katjes Quiet Luxury has additionally agreed market standard drag-along by FSI and tag-along rights and obligations followed by a call option on FSI’s shares with the possibility to become majority shareholder.

With this step, Katjes International continues its growth trajectory and further strengthens its portfolio with another iconic brand in the European luxury segment. The transaction represents the next logical step in expanding the luxury portfolio of Katjes Quiet Luxury following the acquisition of the majority stake in the German luxury brand BOGNER in September 2025.
