Coach

Coach is a fashion house of accessories and lifestyle collections founded in New York City in 1941, and the filing describes it as built on a legacy of craftsmanship under a vision the company calls Expressive Luxury. The segment covers global sales of primarily Coach brand products through direct-to-consumer, wholesale and licensing. Within it, handbags were 58.1% of segment net sales in fiscal 2026, accessories 28.8%, footwear 5.9% and other products 7.2%. The store estate reached 973 at the fiscal 2026 year end, 336 in North America and 637 international, against 931 a year earlier.

Kate Spade

The Kate Spade brand launched in 1993 with a collection of six essential handbags and now delivers seasonal collections of handbags, ready-to-wear, jewelry, footwear, gifts, home décor and more. This segment likewise covers global direct-to-consumer, wholesale and licensing sales of the brand. Handbags were 55.3% of its segment net sales in fiscal 2026, accessories 22.4%, footwear 4.5% and other products 17.8%. Its store count fell to 326 from 360, made up of 178 in North America and 148 international.

Three channels

Direct to consumer, which the company defines as the channels that give it immediate, controlled access to consumers, was approximately 87% of total net sales in fiscal 2026 and covers freestanding retail stores, outlet stores, brand e-commerce sites and concession shop-in-shops, located in regional shopping centers, metropolitan areas and established outlet centers. Wholesale, at approximately 12%, runs through major department stores, specialty stores and third-party digital partners, with assortments custom tailored by wholesale product planning and allocation to the consumers of each local market, and proprietary brand fixtures used inside selected department store locations. At 27 June 2026 no customer individually accounted for more than 10% of either segment's total net sales.

Licensing

The brands take an active role in the design process and keep control of marketing and distribution in the worldwide licensing relationships. The named arrangements are Coach eyewear with Luxottica, Coach watches with Movado to fiscal 2028 and Coach fragrance with Interparfums to 2031; for Kate Spade, tech accessories with Case-Mate to 2027, sleepwear with Komar and fashion bedding with Live Comfortably to 2028, stationery and gift with Lifeguard Press and fragrance with Interparfums to 2030, and eyewear with Safilo to 2031.

Making, seasons and people

Manufacturing sits with a limited number of outside partners the filing calls better brand partners, chosen for integrity, quality and reliable delivery, and a new finished-goods vendor is put through a quality, business practice standards and social compliance review before it is approved. Imported products face tariffs, indirect taxes, quotas and non-tariff trade barriers, and the company runs its supply chains through foreign trade zones, bonded logistic parks and free trade agreements, with an internal global trade, customs and product compliance organisation to manage the paperwork. Results are seasonal: inventory is built for the winter and holiday season in the first fiscal quarter, and working capital requirements fall substantially in the second as sales rise. At 27 June 2026 the company employed approximately 20,600 people globally, approximately 16,800 of them in retail locations and 8,000 of those part-time, a total that excludes the seasonal and temporary staff taken on for the holidays.
