About the owner: Groupe Etam
Groupe Etam is a privately held company headquartered in Paris, France. Brandtree records 4 brands under its control.
Groupe Etam is a French family-owned and independent lingerie and fashion group, which calls itself more than a century old. Its own site names five brands: Etam, Maison 123, Undiz, Livy and Ysé. The website is published by Etam Développement, a partnership limited by shares (société en commandite par actions) registered in Paris, with its registered office in the 4th arrondissement and its administrative office in Clichy. The group states that it holds 43.9 per cent of Livy, accounted for by the equity method, so Livy is a minority holding rather than a wholly owned brand.
🇫🇷 Etam and other French brands
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 318 brands that began in France. 99 of them (31%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; Etam is not one of them.
