The Court of Commerce of Bobigny has agreed the plan for the partial takeover of the French low-cost fashion brand Mim by the consortium formed by the Swiss brand Tally Weijl and Etam. Mim was placed in receivership in November 2016. The partial takeover will lead to about 800 jobs reductions on a total workforce of 1500 employees. The new owners will keep 71 stores out of the 233 stores (and 90 affiliates) located throughout France. Mim had a debt of EUR 60 million and faced a lost of EUR 9 million in 2016. Mim is the third low-cost brand to fail after the announcement of the sale of the Tati group and the reorganisation of Vivarte (1,415 job cuts in 2015).
