The two fashion giants recently revealed their financial results for the final quarter of 2023. While Tapestry reported encouraging figures for the second quarter and second half of the year to December 30, 2023, Capri Holdings reported a declining performance for its third quarter and nine months to date. Despite these challenges, the management of both companies remain optimistic about the future, with a planned merger between Capri Holdings and Tapestry in 2024.
Fashion giants Tapestry, Inc. and Capri Holdings Limited released their financial results for the last quarter on Thursday February 8.
