Canadian luxury label
WANT Les Essentiels will now operate under the Robert brothers — Jean-Philippe, François-Xavier and Guillaume — who also own the elevated outerwear label, Quartz Co.
Byron and Dexter Peart — the twin co-founders behind the newly acquired label — sold their stake of the company to partners Mark and Jacqueline Wiltzer, owners of Mark Edwards Apparel Inc., after 15 years at the helm of the high-end leather brand. Now, a new group of familial business partners will take the label to new heights.
“
WANT
Les Essentiels is a brand we have observed for several years with great respect,” said Jean-Philippe Robert, President of Quartz Co., in a statement. “It stands out for its catalogue of exceptional flagship products, recognized worldwide, emerging from a rich creative universe that also integrates quality, responsible design, and functionality. This acquisition allows us to consolidate our position in the premium clothing and accessories market.”
