The Paris Private Equity team advised the shareholders of Arlettie, a leading international B2B inventory management specialist for luxury brands, on an agreement for PAI Partners to acquire a majority stake in the Group.
The transaction will be made through the PAI Mid-Market Fund II, PAI’s second fund dedicated to mid-market opportunities, and is expected to close in June 2026.
Arlettie organises exclusive private sales, staff sales, and inventory-clearance events for many of the world’s leading luxury brands. Through a unique omnichannel platform combining physical showrooms in Paris, London, Milan, and New York City with a fast-growing global online offering, the company helps luxury brands manage structural legacy stock effectively while preserving exclusivity, confidentiality, and brand equity.
With PAI’s support, Arlettie aims to accelerate its international expansion, particularly in the United States, further scale its omnichannel platform, deepen relationships with existing luxury partners, and onboard new brands across categories and geographies.
The Goodwin team was composed of Jérôme Jouhanneaud, David Diamant, Sibel Tekesultan, Marjorie Ladsous, and Beyza Caliskan on corporate matters, Marie-Laure Bruneel and Paul Fournière on tax matters, and Marie Fillon and Albana Taipi on IP matters.
