Linsalata Capital Partners buys Cypress-based Manhattan Beachwear

Firm gains majority stake in the swimwear manufacturer.

Cleveland-based private equity firm Linsalata Capital Partners has purchased a majority stake – or 80 percent – in Cypress-based Manhattan Beachwear.

The apparel manufacturer carries two of its own brands, 24th & Ocean and Maxine, and holds the licenses for a number of other labels. Among them: Hobie, Split and Kenneth Cole New York.

Manhattan Beachwear was founded by Allan Colvin more than 20 years ago, who produced the first surf-inspired American classic swimwear collection under the Hobie label.

The company has since grown to become a top producer of junior and women’s swimwear, and its apparel is sold across a wide spectrum of specialty and chain department stores, including Macy’s, Dillard’s, Saks Inc., Nordstrom and Everything But Water.
