Lanvin Group, previously known as Fosun Fashion Group, has recently announced its intention to expand its e-commerce presence in the United States through a strategic partnership with Shopify. This move is a crucial part of Lanvin’s localized strategy, alongside Sergio Rossi, as they look to capitalize on their impressive revenue growth of over 103% in 2021.
Despite already generating more than 50% of its revenue from the EMEA region, Lanvin Group is keen to strengthen its presence in Asia and North America. With plans to open 200 new stores in these territories by 2025, Lanvin recognizes the importance of digital platforms to complement its physical store expansion, especially in light of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent surge in online shopping.
From the latter half of 2022, Lanvin and Sergio Rossi will be the first brands within the group, which includes Wolford, St. John Knits, and Caruso, to launch dedicated digital platforms targeting the North American market. Powered by Shopify’s advanced technologies, these new websites will greatly enhance the customer experience by offering specialized products, curated content, and optimized omni-channel purchasing services tailored specifically to the North American market. It is important to note that while each brand will maintain its own interface and database, the e-commerce features will be centralized on a common platform, fostering synergies within the entire portfolio.
This significant announcement closely follows Lanvin Group’s merger agreement with Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation, a private equity fund. Should the deal be finalized, Lanvin Group’s valuation would be an impressive $1.5 billion, potentially leading to its debut on the New York Stock Exchange.
Overall, Lanvin Group’s ambitious expansion plans and dedication to e-commerce exemplify its commitment to remaining competitive in the constantly evolving fashion industry. By leveraging Shopify’s expertise and adopting localized strategies, Lanvin and Sergio Rossi are focused on delivering an elevated digital shopping experience to their North American customers. As the group continues to grow and explore new opportunities, it undoubtedly possesses the potential to make a significant impact on the global fashion market.
