Reports: Shein to acquire Everlane. May 18, 2026 China's fast-fashion platform Shein is acquiring U.S. apparel brand Everlane from majority owner L Catterton in a deal valuing the U.S.-based apparel retailer at about $100 million, according to reports. Those with common stock in Everlane, which is known for its focus on sustainability, will not receive a payout, sources told Puck News and The Information. Puck News reported in March that private equity firm L Catterton and Everlane CEO Alfred Chang had been seeking an investor to address roughly $90 million in debt. In 2020, L Catterton, the LVMH-linked private equity firm, led an $85 million funding round to acquire a minority stake in Everlane and later became its majority owner.

L Catterton, backed by LVMH, acquires the Penha Longa luxury resort in Sintra. The US fund Carlyle has just sold the emblematic luxury resort Penha Longa to the joint venture formed by L Catterton Real Estate. Located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, the 220-hectare property includes a 14th-century monastery and is valued at around €140 million. To finalise the multimillion-euro deal, the investment fund L Catterton Real Estate, backed by the French luxury group LVMH- owner of iconic premium brands such as Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior among others- entered into a partnership with the British firm Cedar Capital Partners, reports ECO, adding that the terms of the deal were not disclosed. According to L Catterton, this partnership aims to build a selective portfolio of "10 to 15 emblematic assets," with the intention of "building a leading luxury hotel platform in Europe and North America" and "capitalising on the strong secular growth in global demand for luxury travel and a structural imbalance between supply and demand in the high-end hotel segment," ECO also reports. As the newspaper notes, the Penha Longa Resort & Hotel is one of Sintra's most emblematic luxury resorts and is among the first two acquisitions by the L Catterton and Cedar joint venture, alongside the Garden Beach Hotel, a 177-room beachfront hotel located on the French Riviera. It offers more than 209 rooms, apartments and suites in total, an award-winning 1,500-square-metre spa, several swimming pools, tennis courts, a country club, and 27-hole golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. It also features several restaurants, including two with Michelin stars. All luxury suites and apartments have private balconies and views of the mountains or golf courses. The Penha Longa Resort & Hotel is also famous for hosting events of global significance, such as the annual forum of the European Central Bank.
