Founded in 2009, Missguided currently has a presence the UK, US, France and Australia, but is looking to expand further.
Missguided founder Nitin Passi said: “Norbert Dentressangle were the obvious partner for us as we continue to grow our business. In addition to their proven capability in retail, they have also demonstrated a highly flexible and genuinely strategic, long-term partnership approach and we very much look forward to working with them going forward.”
