I look forward to partnering with the senior leadership of Bare Necessities to achieve strong, profitable growth.”

Delta Galil noted “the transaction is expected to close in the next few weeks and be accretive to earnings next year.” It provided a current description of Bare Necessities: “established in 1998, with headquarters outside New York City, Bare Necessities today offers more than 160 brands and 6,400 styles in intimates, women’s swimwear, shapewear, sexy lingerie, sleepwear, and hosiery, among others.” It listed some of the brands currently sold on the site including “Wacoal, Chantelle, Spanx, Calvin Klein and Miraclesuit, with exclusive collections including Birdsong and Camio Mio.
