OC&C Advises MCP and Aurora Growth Capital on Deal in High End Metal Accessories for the Fashion Industry

We are pleased to congratulate Mindful Capital Partners (MCP) and Aurora Growth Capital on Aurora’s strategic investment in Eurmoda, a leading Italian manufacturer of metal accessories for high-end fashion. OC&C provided commercial due diligence support to both MCP and Aurora to enable the transaction.

Founded in 2019 by MCP, Eurmoda was established as a private equity-backed platform to consolidate excellence in the production of high-end metal accessories, primarily for luxury leather goods such as handbags and belts. The business has grown through a series of targeted acquisitions – including Alce in Valsamoggia, ABC Morini in Scandicci, and Macuz in Florence – enhancing its footprint and strengthening relationships with top-tier global luxury brands.

With Aurora’s acquisition of a c.50% stake via share purchase and a dedicated capital increase, the business enters its next phase of growth. MCP retains approximately 27%, with founder and CEO Marco Vecellio and Auro Macuz also remaining shareholders. The capital increase will support a clearly defined buy-and-build strategy, with a pipeline of add-on targets already identified to accelerate both geographic and product expansion.
