About the Company

Michael Kors

Owns multi-brand luxury fashion houses

Michael Kors is a luxury fashion brand that creates accessible luxury clothing, bags, shoes, and accessories. Its product line emphasizes chic, comfortable designs that appeal to a global audience seeking elevated everyday wear. The core brand began under Michael Kors and expanded into a broader fashion group through acquisitions, later rebranding to Capri Holdings Limited to reflect a diversified portfolio. Capri Holdings grew by adding Jimmy Choo and Versace, expanding its presence in the luxury market. In 2023, Capri Holdings was acquired by Tapestry, Inc., forming a larger umbrella of luxury brands, though the deal faced regulatory scrutiny from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in 2024 over competition concerns. The company's goal is to build a leading global luxury fashion group by combining strong brand names, expanding product categories, and leveraging scale across design, manufacturing, and retail channels.
