Owned by Dubai-based Vision Investments since 2019, Italian luxury fashion house Roberto Cavalli has teamed up with the Italian Company Arav Group to develop and distribute its children's clothing lines. The brand will produce and distribute the Roberto Cavalli Junior and Just Cavalli Junior collections.

Roberto Cavalli confirms, to kick off with the Spring/Summer 2026 collections, this new collaboration is set for a six-season term. Arav Group's portfolio includes the John Richmond brand, the women's wear label Silvian Heach, the younger line Marcobologna, and they are also the licensee for Trussardi's children's wear. Under this agreement, Arav Group will focus on enhancing the brand identity and market position of the two kids' lines, while Roberto Cavalli's in-house team will handle the creative design.

Including clothing ranges for new borns, babies, and juniors, Roberto Cavalli Junior is positioned at the high end of the market, emphasizing fine details and fabric quality. This line features items like silk muslin dresses and sequined jeans for girls, and elegant dinner jackets and oversized bomber jackets for boys. The more accessible collection targeting kids aged 4 to 14 years, Just Cavalli Junior is characterized by a ‘young, rebellious vibe’ with animal prints, geometric patterns, bright colors, and prominent logos.

The first collections resulting from the partnership with the Arav Group will be available starting spring 2026. Distribution will include ‘a selection of premium retailers, Cavalli's flagship stores, and select online multibrand retailers,’ according to Roberto Cavalli.

This new agreement follows a previous arrangement where Roberto Cavalli worked with Gimel, a children's wear manufacturer based in Southern Italy, for the production of only the Roberto Cavalli Junior line. In that prior setup, Roberto Cavalli managed the collection design and retail distribution internally.
