DN Capital leads series-A round for Scarosso

DN Capital led the round. Scarosso had already received seed funding in May last year from Berlin Ventures along with angel investors Martin Sinner and Michael Brehm.

The fresh capital will fund the launch of new collections, with a specific focus on womenswear. The company will also look to develop its retail operations: Scarosso recently opened its first store in Hamburg and is planning a further opening in Berlin in the coming months.

DN's German portfolio companies include baby products business windeln.de (with more than €10m invested to date) and online eyewear retailer Mister Spex.
