Created by Jean Touitou in 1987 to convey his vision of a timeless brand, A.P.C. is a French clothing brand, authentic and accessible by way of its style, prices and philosophy.

L Catterton is a market-leading consumer-focused investment firm, managing more than $33 billion of capital across three multi-product platforms: private equity, credit, and real estate.
