Jimmy Choo eyes stock market listing

LONDON, England - The Sunday Times said that Labelux, the owner of Jimmy Choo, has held meetings with investment bankers in recent weeks to discuss floating a minority stake in the luxury shoe retailer that could value it at 1 billion pounds.

However, it cited sources close to Labelux as saying that the plans were at an early stage and could amount to nothing. Labelex was not immediately available to comment.
