Madrid-based AWWG, which is owned by M1 Group, L Catterton and founder Carlos Ortega, is a premier platform for international brands and generates over $650m in revenues across over 3,500 points of sale in over 86 countries and it is the official agent for G-III’s DKNY, Donna Karan and Karl Lagerfeld brands across Spain and Portugal.
G-III says it plans to leverage AWWG’s notable presence in India, one of the fastest growing fashion markets in the world, to expand its key brands, led by DKNY. In turn, AWWG will benefit from G-III’s best-in-class operations in North America to expand its footprint in that market.
