Tapestry ‘welcomes back’ many stores
Luxury group Tapestry has begun the store reopening process in North America, Europe and additional markets in Asia in accordance with governmental guidelines.
The group expects to have over 300 Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman stores in North America offering curbside or store pickup service by May 15.
In addition, approximately 20 stores in Europe, 35 stores across Japan, 35 stores in Malaysia and nearly 30 stores in Australia will be open to customers.
It said the phased reopening approach builds upon successful strategies developed in China and South Korea, where all stores have reopened, demand continues to improve and select markets have begun to return to growth.
Zide Zeitlin, group CEO, said: “Throughout this crisis, we have prioritised the health and wellbeing of our employees, their families and communities. At the same time, we have heightened our focus on our customers. While this has primarily been through our digital channels, we are now pleased to welcome them back to many of our stores.”
Tapestry’s brands, the Coach Foundation and the Kate Spade New York Foundation have collectively committed $9,000,000 in financial support and product donations to Covid-19 relief efforts globally.
