However <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/\/belstaff-puts-brakes-ipo-brexit-vote\/\">float plans were \"deprioritised\" following the Brexit vote <\/a>in June of last year.<\/p>\n<p>Belstaff was <strong>founded in Staffordshire in 1924<\/strong> and is best known for its motorcycle jackets. It has risen to prominence in recent years through its celebrity associations. Former footballer and<strong> style icon David Beckham has fronted its campaigns<\/strong> and last year it unveiled a collaboration with actress Liv Tyler. It has 13 stores worldwide, five of which are in the UK, and is also sold in prestigious multibrand stores.<\/p>\n<p>JAB is <strong>also selling British luxury footwear and accessories brand Jimmy Choo<\/strong> with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/\/michael-kors-pe-houses-running-buy-jimmy-choo\/\"> US group Michael Kors believed to be the front-runner to buy it<\/a>. However<strong> Chinese PE house Hony<\/strong>, which owns Pizza Express, and <strong>CVC Capital Partners<\/strong>, the former owner of Debenhams, are also believed to be poised to make a bid. It is understood a least one other unnamed bidder is in the frame; previously US group Coach, which has just completed its purchase of Kate Spade, was linked with a potential bid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":127781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10585,6,10494],"tags":[10010,10660,10062,11813,9769,10023,12093,10659],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Diesel owner reported to have made bid for Belstaff - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The owner of Italian brand Diesel is reported to have tabled a bid for British heritage brand Belstaff in recent weeks.
