Vince swings to profit loss on sales decline
Vince Holdings announced on Tuesday sales fell 2.1% to $57.9 million, resulting in the U.S. luxury fashion brand swinging to a profit loss for the three months.
The New York-based company said sales for the quarter ending May 3 were hurt by declining retail store channel sales in the direct-to-consumer segment, as a result of store closures and renovations during the three months.
As a result, the fashion firm swung to an earnings loss of $4.8 million or a loss $0.37 per share in the quarter, compared to net income of $4.4 million or $0.35 per share in the same period last year.
"I continue to be encouraged by the strong execution and commitment to excellence I see across our organization, and while we are navigating a challenging environment marked by uncertainty, our first quarter performance was relatively in line with our expectations," said Brendan Hoffman, chief executive officer of Vince Holdings.
"As an organization, we quickly pivoted all efforts in the latter portion of the quarter to develop and put into action mitigation plans in light of the evolving tariff policies. In short order we have diversified our supply chain, negotiated with vendors, and leveraged other opportunities to mitigate near-term costs."
Given the uncertainty related the ongoing tariff launches in the U.S., the company said it is not providing guidance for the full-year 2025.
"As we look ahead, we will continue these efforts along with providing customers a high quality product offering and an engaging experience across our channels," added Hoffman.
At the end of the quarter, the firm counted 58 Vince stores, a decrease of 4 stores since the same period last year.

Dôen secures Series A funding from Silas Capital
California-based clothing label Dôen announced on Tuesday the closing of a Series A funding round, led by growth equity firm Silas Capital. The new funding is expected to support the brand's continued retail expansion, the implementation of new operational systems, and enhanced marketing efforts aimed at deepening customer engagement and loyalty. "This has been a long time in the making, as our top priority was finding a partner who aligns with our values and long-term vision for growing Dôen," said Margaret Kleveland, co-founder and CEO of Dôen. "Silas Capital has a strong track record of supporting authentic, organic community building and helping their portfolio companies scale in thoughtful, sustainable ways. We couldn't be more excited for what's ahead for Dôen.' Founded in 2016 by sisters Margaret and Katherine, Dôen launched as a digitally native womenswear brand and has since grown into a full-fledged lifestyle label with offerings across apparel, footwear, accessories, loungewear, and home. The company has built a growing $100 million revenue business with less than $1 million in prior outside investment. With seven brick-and-mortar stores already open, including recent additions in Marin, CA and Nantucket, MA, Dôen is seeing rapid growth in retail, with year-over-year retail sales up 80% and comp store sales climbing 46%, including 65% growth at its Bleecker Street location in New York. E-commerce is also up with 40% growth year-over-year, while wholesale bookings have surged 110% year-to-date. Internationally, Dôen has built a presence through retail partners such as Net-a-Porter, Harrods, Le Bon Marché, Holt Renfrew, and SKP, and is currently stocked in over 150 specialty stores worldwide. Most recently, it launched a two installment collaboration with Gap and has equally collaborated with Reformation, K. Jacques, RMS Beauty, and Library Science, Kaia Gerber and Alyssa Reeder's book club. "Dôen is truly an exceptional brand – seamlessly blending its timeless appeal with product that offers both sophistication and practicality," said Brian Thorne, partner at Silas Capital. "We see tremendous potential to help grow their deeply loyal community by amplifying e-commerce momentum and further scaling the highly productive retail footprint. We are thrilled to partner with Margaret and Katherine at such a pivotal moment in their journey."
