Global lifestyle collective Centric Brands is to acquire Vingino Group. 

Vingino, founded in 2001, started life as a small Dutch denim label before growing into a globally recognised brand. The children’s designer clothing label operates retail stores in Europe, South America, and Central America.

“We are proud to join the Centric Brands group and are looking forward to a new chapter in our business,” said Jan van den Berg, CEO of Vingino. “With Centric’s scale, expertise, and shared commitment to creativity and quality, we are excited to grow the Vingino brand.”

Centric’s current portfolio includes licenses for 100 brands, including Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Under Armour. Based in New York City, Centric has international offices in Asia, Europe, Montreal, and Toronto.

“Vingino’s design and sourcing strength, coupled with their EU (European Union) and Central and South American networks and relationships, fit perfectly into our global growth strategy,” Jason Rabin, CEO of Centric Brands, added.

“We look forward to working closely with the Vingino team as an integral partner to strengthen and scale our international kids platform.”
