About Michael Kors

Michael Kors launched in 1981 and grew enormously in the 2010s through accessibly priced handbags sold in outlet channels, a strategy that lifted volume sharply and then damaged the brand's standing, which it has spent years repairing. Capri Holdings owns it, and the company was renamed after buying Jimmy Choo and Versace.
