KER
Kering
A French luxury group that owns some of the world's most famous fashion houses, including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, plus jewelry brands like Boucheron. It began in 1962 as a timber-trading business founded by François Pinault in Brittany, later growing into a retail giant called Pinault-Printemps-Redoute before renaming itself Kering in 2013. The name blends the Breton word "ker" (home) with the sound of "caring," a nod to its founder's roots.
