The acquisition marks a significant bright spot in the apparel industry, combining Vandale’s impressive operational scale and category leadership with Skin’s distinct heritage of quiet luxury.

By bringing Skin into its portfolio, Vandale reinforces its position as an innovator in the intimate, lounge, and wellness categories.
A Natural Evolution of Comfort
Founded in 2003, Skin Worldwide was born from a philosophy of honoring the body rather than reshaping it. Known for pieces that feel like a "second skin," the brand has built a loyal global following through its use of organic materials and minimalist silhouettes.
"Skin is a natural complement to the Vandale family," said Maurice Setton, President of Vandale. "By marrying Skin’s high-design ethos with Vandale’s robust design team and flexible manufacturing network, we are positioned to scale this vision while preserving the 'quiet luxury' that defines the brand. This is a strategic expansion that underscores our commitment to growth in the luxury lifestyle sector."
Synergies in Innovation and Design
Vandale’s acquisition of Skin provides a unique competitive advantage for both entities:
- Operational Excellence: Skin will leverage Vandale’s deep expertise in sleep/lounge, shapewear, and activewear, supported by an expansive distribution network.
- Creative Stewardship: Vandale’s experienced design team will work to honor Skin’s distinct brand DNA, ensuring that the transition into the Spring 2026 collection remains rooted in the brand’s signature understated elegance.
- Market Leadership: The move strengthens Vandale’s presence across all distribution channels, from a strong ecommerce platform to a range of retail stores including boutique luxury and major global retailers.
Looking Ahead: Spring 2026
The partnership will culminate in a refreshed brand presence and expanded product offerings set to debut in Spring 2026. This era of "modern refinement" will continue to focus on natural, breathable fabrics and silhouettes that nurture a deep sense of ease.
