On August 24th, Tapestry announced its intention to acquire Capri Holdings, a move currently under review by the Federal Trade Commission, with a decision expected by September 30th.
This acquisition could reshape the future for both companies, potentially creating a larger, more competitive entity in the luxury market with revenues of nearly $8bn. Despite this, their overall market ranking may not see a dramatic shift. However, the synergies from this merger could fortify their position amidst the industry's current slowdown.
Beyond the companies themselves, this consolidation could have ripple effects on partners, particularly licensees in sectors like beauty and watches. Many licensing agreements include change-of-control clauses, raising questions about potential disruptions.
Will this deal lead to a shake-up in the licensing landscape? While it’s most likely not the case, it’s definitely something to watch...
