The firm has hired boutique investment bank Lazard to run the sale process, which has attracted interest from Chinese buyers, they said.

Non-binding bids are due by July 25, one of the sources said.

Ganni's financial numbers have not been disclosed, but the sources said a deal could value the fashion house at between $500 million and $700 million.

Ganni said there is no sale the company could comment on. Lazard declined to comment and L Catterton did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Founded in 2000, Ganni offers women's ready-to-wear clothing and has established an international presence through its owned stores and more than 400 premium retailers in 20 countries.

It also sells through various digital retailers.

L Catterton, which focuses on the consumer sector globally, bought a majority stake in Ganni in 2017 and has since helped the brand to expand internationally.
