Bosideng is close to acquiring an 80-store apparel chain in England to sell its down jackets, and is also in early talks with European high-end coat brands about making a possible acquisition, Julie Sun, the company’s vice-president for corporate strategy and investor relations, said in a Sept. 24 interview.
