Kering withdraws from British luxury bag rental company Cocoon
As part of its transformation, Kering is also examining its minority stakes and has withdrawn from Cocoon, confirming a report by the French media outlet L'informé. Kering is the parent company of Gucci, Balenciaga, and Bottega Veneta and counts the Pinault family as its principal shareholder.
Cocoon was founded in 2019 by former Vestiaire Collective marketing director Ceanne Fernandes-Wong and Matt Heiman, offering a subscription-based rental concept for high-end bags. The business saw Kering and Depop founder Simon Beckerman take part in its funding round in 2021. At the time, the company raised just under 3 million euros. The London-based company later saw Ceanne Fernandes-Wong leave the project in 2024.
Kering had invested in Cocoon via its venture capital company Kering Ventures, owning 8.1% of the capital. According to group data, it exited Cocoon in January. At the end of 2024, Kering Ventures also held minority stakes in Vestiaire Collective, Revalorem, and the Italian company Mogu, which develops mycelium-based technologies.

Aviteur launches capsule with Harrods exclusive ahead of US debut
Luxury luggage and accessories brand Aviteur has unveiled a Travel Capsule Collection that has just launched exclusively at Harrods in London. Ahead of its US launch, the label (which was founded by Patricia Gucci who remains creative director), said the partnership with 'one of the world's most iconic department stores marks a key milestone in Aviteur's global brand evolution'. The star piece in the collection is the all-new Carry-On 25, joined by three core styles: the Weekender, Duffle, and Laptop Case. The items are all produced in Italy and the company said the new capsule 'continues Aviteur's legacy of blending old-world craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication'. What that means in practice is an interesting mix of materials with a lightweight, aviation-grade polycarbonate shell, wrapped in Italian leather, lined in washable Alcantara, and finished with Aviteur's signature woven rattan-inspired texture. Available in walnut and black, these pieces are ultra-luxury — with prices ranging from £2,950 for the Carry-on 25, up to £8,975 for the full set. As mentioned, it's launched at Harrods first and will also be available at Just One Eye in Los Angeles and via Aviteur's own webstore.
