Orlebar Brown sets sail from Piper to luxury fashion group CHANEL

Piper has exited its investment in Orlebar Brown, the luxury swim and resort wear brand, to Chanel SA. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.   Founded in 2007 by Adam Brown and former business partner Julia Simpson-Orlebar, Orlebar Brown pioneered the tailored approach to men’s beach and swim shorts and has since evolved
It has been an honour working closely with Adam and the great team at Orlebar Brown on their entrepreneurial journey. Congratulations to them and to Piper, our fabulous investor, on a great outcome.
