La Fée Maraboutée has been acquired by Silverfleet Capital
December 2012 — Dzeta Conseil, a private investment firm, has sold La Fée Maraboutée, a wholesaler and retailer of women’s fashion, to Silverfleet Capital, a leading, independent, European private equity firm specializing in mid-market buyouts, for US$90 million.
Founded in 1996, La Fée Maraboutée offers a wide variety of products through a wholesale network including over 850 multi-brand retailers in France and a further 850 abroad, as well as a store network of 90 outlets which includes owned stores, affiliates and franchisees.
