THe CEO Yves Alain Petitjean is unimpressive. He claims he has had his back against the wall since he started 18 months ago due to inadequate funding. This is partly true, though I don't think he gets this market or its potential. With a proper team in place, I believe this can be managed. In the first instance very little cash has to be put up. It is more about commitment to retain the employee levels that concern the French Court more than anything else. Ironically, the market for this product line (the super rich) are getting richer. It has been poorly managed and hopelessly marketed for ten years. I believe it could be turned round within 2 years. Cash required to purchase and run it for this period would be less than 7.5M Euros. -----Original Message— From: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> To: Mark LLOYD Sent: Tue, 15 May Subject: Re: difficult to assess. the brand is great .. the french labor , regulation, lease. issues are complex.

I really think this is a jewel that has lost its lustre and with a bit of polishing could regain its brand stature on the global map in a relatively short period of time. The exit would be in 3-5 years when it might be sold to Chanel, Richemont or LVMH. Just let me know either way ASAP, so I can pursue other avenues if its not of any interest to you.
