Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

Dolce&Gabbana states that D&G S.r.l. and its subsidiaries directly create, produce, and distribute apparel, leather goods, footwear, jewellery, watches, and beauty products, while eyewear and other lifestyle lines are managed through licensees 1.

No public evidence identified of sourcing from named Israeli agricultural exporters, seasonal Israeli agricultural procurement, or indirect Israeli-origin food sourcing.

Ynetnews reported in 2024 that Dolce&Gabbana’s relaunched makeup line entered Israel through Beauty & Co, described as part of the Schestowitz Group and as the importer 2.

A December 2024 Israeli Ministry of Health cosmetics-notification document includes a Dolce&Gabbana makeup-product entry naming Beauty & Co in associated company fields, supporting regulatory-market presence but not establishing the contractual importer-of-record structure 3.

Walla reported in June 2025 that Beauty & Co would present Dolce&Gabbana makeup at a Tel Aviv event, corroborating local distribution activity at that time 4.

Schestowitz identifies Dolce&Gabbana among brands represented by its Cosmetics Division, but the cited corporate page does not disclose agreement terms, duration, scope, or the legal importer of record 5.

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

No public evidence identified of Dolce&Gabbana products labelled as Israeli or settlement-origin, or of a regulatory citation, customs audit, or enforcement finding concerning origin labelling for goods from the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Jordan Valley, or Golan Heights.

Dolce&Gabbana’s Supplier Code of Conduct was adopted in November 2024 and updated in June 2025 6.

The retrieved Supplier Code describes general supply-chain standards, but no territory-specific sourcing or occupied-territory labelling policy was identified in the reviewed material 6.

The December 2024 Israeli cosmetics-notification record supports the presence of a Dolce&Gabbana cosmetic product in the Israeli regulatory system but does not establish product origin or a distribution contract 3.

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Dolce&Gabbana’s published subsidiary directory lists entities in several jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Shanghai, but no Israeli entity appears in the displayed list 7.

This directory-based observation does not rule out unlisted distributors, licensees, registrations, or subsequent corporate changes 7.

No public evidence identified of an Israeli acquisition, controlling stake in an Israeli operating company, Israeli factory, R&D centre, logistics hub, real-estate investment, Israeli sovereign-bond holding, or Israel-focused fund exposure.

No public evidence identified in the bounded review of material Israeli investments by Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Alfonso Dolce, or related family vehicles.

No public evidence identified of Israel-attributable revenue, profits, taxes, repatriation flows, or an economic-anchor role disclosed by Dolce&Gabbana.

Operational Presence & Market Activity

Dolce&Gabbana’s official Israel locator lists two boutiques in Tel Aviv 8.

One official listing places a boutique at 4 Hei Be-Iyar Street, Tel Aviv, Israel 9.

The locator lists the second Tel Aviv location at 74 He Be’Iyar Street as “c/o Amor Multibrand Store,” supporting an intermediary or multibrand retail channel for that location 8, 9.

The locator does not establish ownership, legal operation, employment arrangements, lease terms, or franchise status for either Tel Aviv location 8, 9.

No public evidence identified of Dolce&Gabbana sites in West Bank settlements, East Jerusalem settlements, or the Golan Heights.

The official locator’s Israel results identify Tel Aviv locations only, which does not establish the absence of third-party resale elsewhere 8.

Ynetnews reported that Dolce&Gabbana makeup became officially available in Israel and that the group resumed direct management of its beauty division in January 2023, while not identifying the Israeli contracting entity 2.

No public evidence identified of Israeli workforce size, local tax payments, warehouse or support-centre operations, an Israeli company registration number, or an investor-facing characterization of Israel as a strategic market.

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

Dolce&Gabbana identifies its operating group as D&G S.r.l. and its subsidiaries 1.

Dolce & Gabbana S.r.l. is identified in the company’s legal materials as an Italian-law company with registered office at Via Goldoni 10, 20129 Milan, Italy, and VAT number 09297890155 10, 11.

The company states that the brand was founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, whom it identifies as the creative source of the brand and principal directors of its growth strategy 1.

UK Companies House records Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana as active persons with significant control of Dolce & Gabbana UK Limited, each holding more than 25% and not more than 50% of shares, with notifications dated 6 April 2016 12.

Associated Press reported in April 2026, citing a Milan Chamber of Commerce filing, that Stefano Gabbana’s resignation from oversight roles took effect on 1 January 2026 and that Alfonso Dolce was named chair later that month, while Stefano Gabbana retained a creative role 13.

Dolce&Gabbana’s public Organisation Model confirms that D&G S.r.l. has a board of directors, but its stated update date is 23 September 2020 and the page does not name the current directors 14.

No public evidence identified that Dolce&Gabbana was founded in Israel, is Israeli-headquartered, has Israeli tax-residency or permanent-establishment status, or is owned or controlled by Israeli capital.

No public evidence identified of Israeli state ownership, government board appointments, government contracts, critical-infrastructure designation, or governance mechanisms structurally tying Dolce&Gabbana to the Israeli state.

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

The documented Tel Aviv retail listings and reported Beauty & Co makeup-distribution activity support sales activity in Israel 2, 8, 9.

The reviewed sources do not provide a supportable basis to quantify Israel-derived revenue or determine profit-flow direction between local retailers or distributors and the Italian group 2, 8, 9.

No public evidence identified of disclosed Israel-specific profits, taxes, dividend flows, transfer-pricing arrangements, or other profit-repatriation mechanisms.

The published group subsidiary directory does not identify an Israeli-incorporated Dolce&Gabbana entity in its displayed list, but this source limitation does not determine the tax treatment or contractual allocation of local sales 7.
