Woolrich: Flamini new ceo after Baoxiniao agreement
Woolrich announced the official closing of the agreement with the Chinese group Baoxiniao, signed at the end of 2024 and finalised in February 2025.
Under the agreement, Woolrich International holds the intellectual property rights to the brand outside of Europe, marking a key step towards wider international expansion, particularly in strategic markets such as China. Lorenzo Flamini appointed new chief executive officer
Following the agreement, Lorenzo Flamini was appointed chief executive officer of the company. Previously chief financial officer since 2017, Flamini played a central role in the company's evolution, supporting major corporate transformations, including the creation of Woolrich International in 2016 and the transition under the leadership of the L-Gam fund in 2018, which will continue to manage the brand's development in Europe.
'Europe remains our key market, where we continue to operate directly through our three main channels: wholesale, direct-to-consumer (D2C) and e-commerce. Our goal is to strengthen brand identity by focusing on what has always defined Woolrich: a historical heritage dating back to 1830 and an intrinsic versatility rooted in our DNA,' Flamini highlighted in a statement. 'We draw inspiration from our archive and the brand's distinctive elements, reinterpreting them in a contemporary way, and we are expanding our offering with lightweight garments and a more robust selection designed for the mid-seasons, from spring to autumn,' he added.
The objective is to broaden the product offering with garments designed for the mid-seasons, such as spring and autumn, reinterpreting the brand's iconic elements in a modern way.
Last December, Woolrich International, owned by L-Gam, welcomed a new investor. Specifically, the Chinese apparel group Baoxiniao Holding Co. Ltd. acquired the intellectual property rights to the Woolrich brand for all territories outside of Europe.
Baoxiniao, which owns several clothing brands including Saint Angelo, Hazzys, Bono, Camicissima and Henry Grant, emphasised its desire to elevate the premium outdoor clothing brand globally, especially in Asia, and to strengthen its brand portfolio.
Founded in 2013, the Baoxiniao holding is based in China. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

New Tesla Model Y is a more chiselled, quieter version of mega-seller… it moves the game on for a tech-rich family motor
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) I'M struggling to keep up with Elon Musk and his on/ off bromance with Donald Trump. Are they buddies again? 6 The world's best-selling car was fugly… but two years on, it's had a sharp new makeover Credit: simon thompson 6 The cabin gets a techy glow-up with the gear selector shifted to the screen - and wraparound LEDs Credit: simon thompson 6 The new Model Y shines alongside its less attractive predecessor Credit: simon thompson Or still kicking lumps out of each other on X? One thing I do know is that Tesla sales are down eight per cent in Great Britainland. Some say it's because Musk backed Trump for President, followed by that awkward hand gesture at the inauguration. Some say it's the Chinese invasion. Maybe in part. But mostly it's due to Tesla halting production of the mega-selling Model Y at its Berlin gigafactory to tool up for the new one. Now everything is sorted and sales are likely to take off like a Space X rocket. Here are ten things you need to know about the new motor. 1. The old one was fugly. The world's best-selling car two years on the bounce, yes. But still fugly. That's sorted now. This new one is more chiselled. First glimpse at limited edition EV hitting UK in just weeks with slick new look It's like they've taken a photo of the Cybertruck to a surgeon and gone, 'This please'. The lower nose helps it slice through the air, adding a bit more range. 2. They've deleted the Tesla badge from the bonnet. Confident move. 3. But the biggest change is at the back. There's a new reflective lightbar which highlights T E S L A written out in full. Also, the rear diffuser sticks out more. So repair bills will be lower if you reverse into something you shouldn't. Which helps with insurance too. 4. The 'frunk' — front trunk — now has a plughole in it. So you can fill it with ice for summer barbecues. Or store muddy boots. 5. Cabin. The gear selector has moved to the big screen — like a Model 3. But they've kept the indicator stalk. Unlike a Model 3. The wrapround LED strip is new. The front seats will warm and cool your back. They didn't before. Other things. The seat bases are longer in the back. So they're more comfortable. There's a little entertainment screen to play arcade games. The front passenger seat moves forward at the touch of a button for limo-like legroom. 6. Sound. It's now much quieter in here which makes it feel more expensive. There's extra insulation. Acoustic glass. Redesigned door seals. All little details that add up. 7. The boot is a smidge smaller. But you'll never notice. I had to look it up. The seats now fold up and down automatically, where they only folded flat before. You had to push them back up. 8. The suspension has been tweaked so it rides better. Batteries and motors are unchanged. But improved regenerative braking tech adds more electrons. Every version should do 300 miles-plus, with the rear-wheel drive Long Range hitting 387 miles. There's talk of a bigger battery nudging 500 miles. 9. Price. The standard rear-drive Model Y starts at £45k, which is £2k more than before. Not bad. The all-singing all-wheel drive Long Range is £52k. 10. This isn't specific to Model Y but Tesla's Supercharger network blows everyone else out of the water. It's next-level good. Quick. Easy. No cards. No apps. And cheaper too. It doesn't really matter if you like Musk or not. If you want a minimalist, tech-rich family motor, Model Y moves the game on. 6 There's a little entertainment screen to play arcade games Credit: simon thompson 6 The old one was fugly.
