Fashion group Giorgio Armani is scheduled to start discussions about a possible sale of a minority stake, holding meetings with French consumer and luxury firms, according to reports.

The company is set to meet LVMH and L’Oréal, as well as EssilorLuxottica. The planned outreach aligns with the wishes of the late founder, Giorgio Armani, the outlets say. The reports do not specify the size of the stake, valuation, or timeline.

The coverage is focused on which strategic partners are being approached, rather than on the outcome of talks. While both outlets describe the same initial counterparties and the minority-stake scenario, they provide limited additional detail on negotiation terms, whether any binding offers are expected, or how quickly the process would move if interest is confirmed.
