For the last financial year, Scotch & Soda posted revenues of €52 million (£45.9 million).
“I am very proud of the results we have delivered together in the past years, Scotch & Soda is a fashion brand that conquers the world step by step,” Stoppelenburg said.
“We now reap the benefits of the implementation our omnichannel strategy.”
