Vince Holding Corp.’s VNCE acquisition of the operating business of October’s Very Own, or OVO, adds a new growth platform beyond the core Vince brand. The transaction gives Vince Holding exposure to the streetwear market through OVO, which generated nearly $50 million in net sales in calendar 2025 and operates 12 stores across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, along with an e-commerce business.
The growth plan centers on increasing OVO’s retail presence, establishing a U.S. wholesale business and improving e-commerce through marketing and site optimization. Vince Holding plans to expand OVO’s store base from 12 locations to about 20 by fiscal 2030, with the United States expected to be a key area of focus. The company also plans to use its existing capabilities in merchandising, sourcing, production and wholesale to support the brand’s growth.
Financially, OVO is targeted to become a more meaningful contributor over time. Vince Holding sees an opportunity to increase OVO revenues to more than $100 million by fiscal 2030 and generate adjusted EBITDA margins in the low-double-digit range. OVO is expected to be earnings neutral, excluding transaction costs, in fiscal 2026 before becoming accretive in fiscal 2027. The next phase of growth is expected to begin with the launch of U.S. wholesale and about three new U.S. stores. OVO’s U.S. wholesale launch, store expansion and e-commerce growth will be central to how much the acquisition reshapes Vince Holding’s growth profile.
