What The Level Group does

The Level Group is a Milan-headquartered digital e-commerce accelerator and operating partner for fashion, luxury, and design brands, founded in 2011 and operating under Italian holding company Progetto 11. The company delivers end-to-end e-commerce and omnichannel operations across nine service modules — consulting and digital strategy, technology and system integration, logistics and distribution, financial services, customer services, web design and creativity, marketing services, store operations, and content and digital production — for a portfolio spanning 50+ brands, including marquee relationships with Off-White (operated under license across DTC, e-commerce, and physical retail in Europe and the US) and Roberto Cavalli (operating-partner role for development, manufacturing, distribution, retail, and e-commerce).

The underlying technology is a marketplace ecosystem management platform built on a Kubernetes production environment, connecting internal systems and Salesforce Commerce Cloud to multiple third-party marketplaces including Zalando, Miinto, Nordstrom, Amazon, Mirakl, and Farfetch via unified catalog, pricing, inventory, and order flows. Beyond fee-based managed services, The Level Group also acts as an incubator and investor, holding wholly-owned brand subsidiaries LN-CC, La DoubleJ, Scarosso, Frank Bros., and Brooks Brothers European operations, alongside licensed and operating-partner arrangements.

The business model combines three revenue streams: managed e-commerce services and operations management fees, brand ownership/operating-partner economics across wholly-owned and licensed brands (including royalties and license-based operations), and venture-style investments that leverage the platform's shared infrastructure. In 2025 the company generated over €250 million in revenue with €350M+ under management globally, and recently expanded through the 2026 acquisition of London-based Tomorrow Group (Coperni, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, Martine Rose) and a strategic partnership with Marquee Brands and DAMAC Group to acquire Roberto Cavalli. Customers are exclusively enterprise B2B brand partners across the luxury, fashion, and design verticals in Europe and North America; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed.
