Edizione, the Benetton family holding company, has acquired a 0.25% interest in the French luxury fashion label Hermès, as well as a 0.35% interest in L Brands, the US group which controls, among others, the lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret.

The information is featured on the Italian group's institutional website, in the chart showing the portfolio of its financial holdings.

For the Benetton family this is simply a financial investment, this time in the luxury goods sector, which adds to other stakes held in the insurance, banking and publishing industries.

According to some sources, the amount invested is close to €100 million.
