Jimmy Choo momentum builds as Capri targets $800 million shoe business
· Beauty & Fashion · United Kingdom · United States
Capri Holdings continues to view Jimmy Choo as an $800 million business, according to WWD, as shoes reclaim the fashion spotlight and the brand's momentum grows. The report frames the footwear label as a bright spot inside Capri's luxury portfolio, which has also included Versace and Michael Kors. For a newcomer: Jimmy Choo is a British luxury footwear and accessories house acquired by Capri in 2017, and its performance has been watched closely as the group reshapes its brand mix. The immediate effect is a renewed focus on footwear as a growth driver rather than an accessory category, with Capri signaling confidence in the label's scale potential. No specific financial figures beyond the $800 million target were disclosed in the item.
Why it matters:Footwear is being re-priced as a core luxury growth category, and Capri's stated target shows how much of its portfolio strategy now hinges on Jimmy Choo's ability to scale.
