Consolidating the brands that dress the majority.
Brykap Holding Group acquires, scales, and stewards apparel brands in the $80 billion plus-size market — the world's least effectively served clothing vertical.
The opportunity →
A market the size of a nation, served as an afterthought.
The time to build is when the category is out of favor.
The time to buy is when there is blood in the streets.Nathan Rothschild
Motivated sellers
Older vintage funds are unnatural holders of trapped brands — assets that need capital, knowhow, and patience they no longer have.
Pricing power
Capital has fled the consumer and retail sector. With little competing capital, disciplined buyers set the terms.
A steep learning curve
Inclusive sizing demands specialized knowledge and a nuanced customer. Few firms will pay to climb a curve we descended generations ago.
A reshaping curve
GLP-1 medications reallocate the size curve; they do not erase it. As customers move, demand moves with them — and can be captured.
The family that built this market is building its next chapter.
Family heritage
Michael Kaplan's great-grandmother, Lena “Lane Bryant” Bryant, created the most recognized name in plus-size apparel. His father was the last family member to lead it. The press halo and customer credibility are unmatched.
Complete infrastructure
Supply chain, sourcing, design, mills, technology, and operators — aligned on one platform, many of them as partners and investors rather than vendors.
A unified team
The Lane Bryant founding family, reunited with senior operators who have led design, merchandising, sourcing, finance, and digital at scale.
We acquire proven affinity, then supply everything else.
We focus on existing brands where our operating resources, relationships, and experience deliver economic payback before the business plan even begins.
Established brand & audience
The expensive, slow work of building identity and a loyal customer base is already done. We look for resonance we can amplify, not invent.
Apparel we can extend
Women's apparel that our resources can improve and expand — across size range, category, and distribution channel.
Immediate EBITDA
Economics our sourcing, margin, materials, inventory, and payables relationships can expand from day one — not someday.
A permanent home for distinctive brands.
Permanence over exit
An operating holding company holds. We are stewards, not flippers.
Founders keep their voice
We partner with founders and families who want to stay involved and keep their brand distinctive — and we hand them a century of operating muscle.
Operators, not spectators
Capital is the least of what we bring. Our partners invest time and expertise, not only money.
To serve the majority with the fit, dignity, and taste it has been denied.
To build an enduring company that serves the majority of women with the fit, dignity, and taste the market has long withheld — and to create lasting value for the founders, families, and partners who build it with us.
The resources that power the platform — many of them invested in it.
Our partners are operating resources at global scale who align with the platform as investors, not vendors — ensuring compelling margins, terms, and reach from day one.
