Michael Kors tote bag

Michael Kors is a globally recognized luxury fashion brand founded in 1981 by the American designer Michael Kors. Known for its 'jet set' aesthetic, the brand offers a wide range of products including handbags, watches, and ready-to-wear apparel. While the brand carries an American identity and is headquartered in New York, its manufacturing is primarily outsourced to several countries in Asia to manage large-scale production, with major hubs located in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

In terms of corporate ownership, the brand is the flagship of Capri Holdings Limited (formerly Michael Kors Holdings Limited). Capri Holdings is a multinational fashion group that also owns other prestigious labels such as Versace and Jimmy Choo. In a major industry move announced in 2023 and set to finalize in 2024–2025, Tapestry, Inc.—the parent company of Coach and Kate Spade—reached an agreement to acquire Capri Holdings. This merger positions Michael Kors under one of the world's largest luxury fashion conglomerates, headquartered in the United States.
