Golden Goose is said to be in advanced talks with the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) to sell a minority stake of around 10 per cent.

Neither Golden Goose nor QIA has publicly confirmed the discussions, and details regarding the potential valuation or timeline of the deal have not yet been disclosed.

Golden Goose’s ownership was reshaped in December when Chinese private equity firm HSG acquired a majority stake in the Venice‑based brand at a valuation of about €2.5 billion ($2.9 billion). 

According to Corriere della Sera, QIA is expected to invest alongside HSG, formerly known as Sequoia Capital China, as well as Temasek and Permira, which kept a minority position following the deal.

Founded in 2000, Golden Goose was acquired by Permira in 2020 from the Carlyle Europe buyout fund.
