The new owners’s CEO Peter Wood said of the deal: “Nicce is a brand with a rich background within streetwear and youth lifestyle. Over the last 10 years, the team has built a strong business and continues to grow equity in the brand. With Nicce becoming part of Apparel Brands Ltd, we will embed it within an established global operation with investment behind scale in supply chain and the ability to reach new markets.”
