History

In February 2015 Pepe Jeans and Hackett London (part of the Pepe Jeans Group) were bought by the Lebanese group M1 and the LVMH subsidiary, L Capital Asia. These companies were previously owned by Torreal Funds (31 percent), Artá Capital (16.4 percent), L Capital Europe (11.5 percent), and its managers.[4]

In 2015, Pepe Jeans announced the Group was adding a new brand, Norton Clothing, a tribute to the British motorcycle brand founded in 1898.[5]
