The Group

History

Formerly known as the La Redoute Group, Redcats was a French group that was founded in 1999. [3] In the late 1990's, the Group acquired international brands. Redcats represented a portfolio of 17 European and American brands for men, women and children. [4]

To increase its brand presence on the web, Redcats introduced a new visual identity in 2010 [3] and launched a new corporate website in 2011.

The network

With an international presence, the Group accounted for more than 70 merchant websites in 2011. [4]
