Clearwater has advised the owners of Trendhim ApS (Trendhim or the Company), a fast-growing data-driven e-commerce business which designs men’s accessories, on its sale to Nordic private equity firm Priveq Investment (Priveq).

Trendhim designs quality accessories for men and sells directly to consumers online globally through 28 localised websites. The Company has developed 13 house brands with a product portfolio including watches, leather bags, sunglasses, bracelets and necklaces.

Priveq has strong credentials and has invested in a number of profitable growth companies across a range of sectors including consumer, IT and software.

The owners will reinvest and co-own the Company together with Priveq. The objective of the partnership with Priveq is to enable continued growth, primarily organic, through further penetration of its existing geographical areas and exploring new geographies and to continue to invest in and develop the digital platform, the brands and the Company and take advantage of all strategic growth initiatives that already exist.

We are proud of the partnership with Priveq and the opportunity to further strengthen our market position in accessories for men and further global expansion. Clearwater's professional advice has been vital to the successful sales process. We chose Clearwater as our financial adviser due to their personable approach, their ability to understand our needs, and flexible advice tailored to our business. They understood our success criteria for the investor selection process, demonstrated a deep understanding of the e-commerce space and the complexity of our business model. This enabled us to present and communicate the key value drivers to potential investors in a valuable way. Through their strong financial and commercial competencies, Clearwater has acted as our most important sparring partner throughout the entire process and has been available 24 hours a day for our questions. The dedication of the team has impressed us, and we can only recommend other entrepreneurs to work with Clearwater.
