Leading fashion brands Gucci, Chloé, and Loewe are facing fines totaling more than 157 million euros for allegedly restricting independent third-party retailers from setting their own prices.
An Oct. 14 statement from the European Commission claimed the practice by the three fashion giants exhibits anti-competitive behavior and reduces consumer choices.
