The luxury fashion world is officially buzzing. The founders of members-only shopping platform Mile, Joe Wilkinson and Mario Maher, have just made one of the boldest moves of the year—launching a new luxury group called Hulcan and snapping up iconic fashion names MATCHES and RAEY in the process.
Even more eye-catching? The duo has secured a massive $150 million in funding, instantly positioning Hulcan as a serious new force in the global luxury space
💎 A Glamorous Comeback for MATCHES
Once a go-to destination for fashion insiders, MATCHES is set for a stylish comeback under Hulcan’s leadership. Rather than reinventing the brand as a discount retailer, the founders plan to restore its high-fashion DNA—think sharp curation, editorial storytelling, and an elevated shopping experience.
Its minimalist in-house label RAEY will also return, promising timeless, wardrobe-essential pieces with a modern edge.
💼 Big Money, Big Names
The $150 million raise comes from a powerful mix of luxury industry investors, signaling strong confidence in Hulcan’s vision. Insiders say the funding will be used to rebuild MATCHES and RAEY from the ground up while fueling future fashion acquisitions.
👠 Why Everyone’s Talking About Hulcan
Fashion insiders are calling Hulcan’s launch one of the most exciting shake-ups in luxury retail this year. By combining tech-driven commerce with fashion heritage, the group aims to create a luxury ecosystem that speaks to both modern shoppers and top designers.
With relaunch plans targeting 2026, all eyes are now on Hulcan—and whether this high-profile revival can set a new standard for luxury fashion in the digital age.
