Marseille’s JOTT Enters Judicial Reorganization as Court Opens Six-Month Oversight

A February 5 hearing will determine whether the process continues or the company is sent into liquidation.

Overview

  • The Tribunal des activités économiques de Marseille found the company insolvent and placed SAS JOTT in redressement judiciaire.
  • The court set a provisional six-month observation period, with an administrator’s report due for an interim hearing on February 5.
  • Tribunal filings cite 183 employees, wages paid through November, and roughly €24 million in annual revenue.
  • Recent accounts show declining sales and recurring annual net losses exceeding €6 million, despite a nearly €99 million recapitalization in 2025 after a 2021 L Catterton LBO increased leverage.
  • Industry groups link JOTT’s strain to the broader French apparel downturn, including competition from second-hand channels and ultra-fast-fashion players such as Shein.
