The company acquired the clothing brand Sundry in 2022. The deal is said to have no impact on its year-to-date results.

Digital Brands Group chief executive officer Hil Davis said: “Our business is completely different now than it was in 2022. 

“We lost a year due to the market decline in 2022, which delayed our acquisition of Sundry. We knew this acquisition was the critical step in our path to create a company with scale, positive ebitda and positive cash flow. Now that the Sundry acquisition has happened, we are well on our way to achieving our initial goals.”
