Summary · why it matters

Capri Holdings has closed 41 retail locations over the past year, reducing its global store count to 871 as of June 27, 2026, from 912 a year earlier. The closures include 33 Michael Kors stores and eight Jimmy Choo locations, leaving Michael Kors with 662 stores and Jimmy Choo with 209. The move is part of a broader streamlining effort after the company sold Versace to Prada Group in December 2025 for €1.25 billion, and comes as Capri reported a 3.5% decline in first-quarter fiscal 2027 net revenue to $769 million, with Michael Kors revenue down 7.1% to $590 million while Jimmy Choo revenue rose 10.5% to $179 million. The company now expects full-year fiscal 2027 revenue of approximately $3.4 billion, below earlier forecasts, but maintained its earnings-per-share outlook of about $2.15. CEO John Idol expressed optimism, citing strategies to elevate brand desirability and improve customer experience across both remaining brands.
