Second Avenue Capital Providing Brixton With New $15 Million Credit Facility

By Annie Baker • Feb 3, 2024

Schottenstein affiliate Second Avenue Capital Partners (SACP) (a leading provider of asset-based loans and credit facilities) announced it has closed on a new $15 million senior secured credit facility for Brixton, an omnichannel global lifestyle brand based in Oceanside, California. This credit facility will be instrumental in optimizing Brixton’s working capital and fueling its continued growth in the competitive fashion industry.

Launched in 2004 by three Southern California friends, Brixton began as a hat manufacturer. And one of their first products, the Hooligan, a vintage-inspired newsboy cap, made a mark on the industry, putting the brand on a trajectory beyond headwear and into apparel and accessories. Brixton’s products feature classic silhouettes reinterpreted to meet the needs of modern living. And with high-profile collaborations and brand partnerships in the music and entertainment industries, Brixton utilizes the diversity of cultures for inspiration. Acquired by Altamont Capital Partners in 2014, Brixton continued its evolution with a focus on the American lifestyle.

Second Avenue Capital Partners has a proven track record of offering tailored financial solutions to companies in the wholesale, retail, and consumer goods sectors, focusing on fostering sustainable growth and success. And with the credit facility provided to Brixton, SACP continues to grow its extensive financing portfolio of fashion and lifestyle brands.
