British menswear brand Orlebar Brown, which was acquired by Chanel in 2018, has announced its plans to open 10 stores in the United States this year. This expansion represents a 57% increase in the brand's physical retail presence. The first store is set to open in Montecito on March 1. In 2019, Orlebar Brown generated over $30 million in revenue, with physical retail accounting for 40% of that total. The brand strategically chooses store locations in smaller cities in beachy or tropical vacation spots. While swimwear currently makes up 30% of the brand's revenue, shirts have become the top-selling category. Orlebar Brown aims to deepen its existing categories rather than expanding into new ones. The brand also plans to collaborate with a women's fashion brand and a luxury car company. Despite temporary slowdowns, the United States is already Orlebar Brown's largest market, and the brand is confident that this expansion will be a success [ac6a64e5].
