The move to bring back Lindeberg follows a strong period of growth, which has seen the company double its turnover over the last three years, according to the brand's co-owner Stefan Engström.

Pomellato Group Names CEO

She will report to Albert Bensoussan, chief executive of Kering's Luxury - Watches & Jewellery division.
